If you have the time, check out an amazing YouTube channel that I recently found called "invisible people", it's a channel with hundreds of interviews of homeless people who share their story and how they survive day to day.
The man who operates the channel was formerly homeless and has dedicated his life to helping the homeless. The name invisible people certainly suits the channel well. For indeed there are so many "invisible" beings whom are suffering everyday, both human and animal, and yet our society either pays for people to brutally treat and kill animals, or completely ignores and neglects those who are in desperate need.
Occasionally, someone who watches the videos posted on that channel is near one of the people interviewed and is able to help in some way. Some of the videos are truly heartbreaking but it's important to see what people go through, we can't turn a blind eye and treat them as if they're invisible. We cannot as it's been said, "worship a homeless man on Sunday (Jesus), and then ignore a homeless man on Monday.

I appreciate those who give back to the community by cleaning up around dumpsters when they collect bottles, clean the sidewalk debris downtown, and those that protect fellow strangers at downtown stores, calling for help when needed. I've greatly appreciated seeing a panhandler on the corner instantly dash to the street to push a car in need. Some may feel that those without shelter are a drain and of no help, while I firmly feel that there are different characters among all backgrounds of people, and sometimes, a few give the others a poor reputation. I stand firm in my belief that street-bound people also make a difference, when one opens their eyes and heart to notice.

With the padding and the long undergarment (wool, to keep warm even when wet) this will help them survive. For one person it's about $200. Last year over 50 of his friends died of exposure. It's so crucial. ♥.
