i would rather give food to the homeless if possible although when asked for small amounts of money i am usually okay with giving them something, since that way you might not be fuelling an addiction.

What I would like to do: give food to every homeless person who asks for money. Far from what I have done though, I am ashamed to say!

What I have always done is played on the side of safety, as those I am seem to see me as a bit too innocent for my own good. I am told that as a woman who looks like a child, I will easily be taken advantage of. BUT.

I swore to myself after being in NY and having to turn away from so many homeless people (I was on a class trip, warned not to pay attention to those people as many purse snatchers were around the city), that if a homeless person asked for money and I had some, I would have them hold on a second and then bring them a hot meal- no matter what who I was with had to say about it. I just feel like that's the right thing to do, but women are warned to be so careful "these days".
