You are absolutely correct in that not all of the substance abuse is due to the circumstance, but most are homeless due to the fact that the substance had taken control of them and they lost everything. As far as I am concerned, this is still a problem that deserves a little understanding. I have also seem the disdain on some faces when I gave food in lieu of money, but those are not the majority. Every circumstance is is unique and every circumstance is sad in it's own way. My goal was to just turn a little attention to those who deserve a little compassion and to shed a little light on the fact that they are, after all is said and done, still human beings.

I remember sharing a cookie in a restaurant court and talking with a homeless man. Just talking. One of the nasty things about being homeless is that no one treats them like people. We all deserve a little respect. Yes, if you take the time to talk to the homeless you find they aren’t so different after all.
