People Abuse.

• You walk on by

• You lie and say you don't have any money

• You think they are at fault of their situation

• You see a person hurting but you don't ask any questions

How do I know? I have been there too.

Compassion. Compassion. Comes from the heart. But it also can be a learned behavior--and one that is reinforced. When you give a homeless person the coffee in your hand or your lunch for the day--you'll mostly get tears and gratefulness. (And a few rejections because they don't trust people!) You may not think you have the means to help but here are a few suggestions to change your behavior:

• Give the change in your pocket (even if they are not begging--it's more humane!) (You might say you don't use cash...if you did you'd be less tracked!)

• Offer to buy a coffee or give them yours (Food stamps doesn't cover hot food including coffee!)

• Give the scarf, hat or jacket off your back (if it doesn't fit, they will have something for trade!)

• If it's time to clean out your closet, then do so with someone in mind! Bring one or two items with you on your way to work and give them to a homeless person! Or if you have multiple items--donate to an organization that helps the homeless--NOT a thrift store!
