I can relate to this situation well, we deal with many homeless clients at our office, and this can sometimes be the reality of trying to "help out". I try to look at it as what matters most is the intent of the giver, and not what the receiver chooses to do with it. But I too would rather provide a meal or a warm blanket than cash, for that very reason, even though I understand the desire.Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-4714114716934813812015-05-28T20:11:45.950-05:002015-05-28T20:11:45.950-05:00I prefer to give food instead of money, to avoid t...I prefer to give food instead of money, to avoid the "sigh" illustrated by your post.
