What they do with it becomes their responsibility. I use to worry (for lack of a better word) that what i'd given away would not be used or appreciated as i would like. . . Until i understood that it was not up to me to carry out the reason for it. Mine was to give and pray for the one who was in need. Thank you again for this very basic lesson.

Sharing coffee, pastries, tears and listening to his stories (he was attorney who succumbed to the pressures of success), until one day he was no longer at his usual spot. I think of him often and pray he is well and have never "looked over those" who are surviving life on the streets. Everyone has a story.

I stay in a shelter but my flow is so heavy that i bleed through my clothes and i am not allowed in the shelter during the day to clean up, so i have been sitting in a coffee shop all day where they are kind enough not to say anything. I have people i care about in this town but i don't think they care about me at all to leave me like in this situation. I thank you for being kind to a homeless person. I have been homeless for 10 yrs and i never asked anyone on the street for money because i just assume they will say no. I find other ways to make money on my own, but can never make what i made before i became homeless.
