What to do if You See a Homeless Person

It’s never easy seeing someone struggle to survive on the streets. Your reaction can very from pity, to angry, to choosing to ignore the person. But always try to remember that they are a person too and you don’t know their story. If you feel led, approach the person, but only if you feel the situation is safe. Use your best judgement always. If they asking for food or money, give them what you can. But sometimes, kindness is all they need. A smile or small conversation can really brighten their day. They are in a horrible situation and any small act of kindness can make it more bearable.
