[BaileyPark31]

I just bought a $5 meal box from Taco bell and gave it to a homeless white guy holding a sign .


Gave a black guy $10 that was just sitting on the ground with his little bit of stuff.


I've been middle class broke and it sucks to have to ask for help. I can't imagine actually being homeless.

They both seemed very greatful. Glad I could help.

Spoiler

Yea, pretty often actually. $10 every now and then doesn't hurt me

This is good I guess...

When's the last time you donated to a program that helps foster kids. Just my opinion but they need your $10 more than a homeless adult.

I used to. But dc has them bad. I give one dude some change...I walk 500ft and here's another nikka asking for some chance. It be too much so I just stopped altogether

When I can.

I've been homeless, I know what it's like to not know where you next meal is coming from.

Yeah if I have change or whatever in the pocket don’t see the harm in it, everyone gotta eat
And donate to the smith family(disadvantaged kids) every week

If a nikka legit look like he drunk or off some shyt, hell no.

If a nikka look legit hungry/down on his luck yeah I’ll throw him a couple dollars.

Yeah I give small change and maybe a couple of dollars if I have it at the time. If they go use it to buy drugs or beer that's on them or if they use to actually buy food cool.

Don't look down on homeless you never know what somebody going through but I only give money to black people especially vets

yup i do.. couple dollars here and there probably like $10 a week or something I give to the bums. go get yourself whatever it is your needing. idc if they're not spending it on food or water. that whole.. "b--b---but...they're gonna buy DRUGS with it" yeah no shyt what do you think I expect them to buy...minutes at kinkos to print resumes? help out when you can

Y'all sound like cacs in here for real, can't differentiate between somebody struggling or tryna finesse? How y'all can look down on somebody clearly in a fukked up position is beyond me. If you ain't got it cool, but to act like you better? Don't get mad when ya boss decides to treat you like shyt tomorrow

Was on my lunch break and a slow bum with a fukked up arm asked for some bread but I gave that nikkah my Panda Express instead then I watched this nikkah stash my food in the cut behind a bush where he had 5 other plates and a few sandwiches stashed and this nikkah continued to beg for everybody who walked past for money.



I was hot cause I ended up going back to work hungry while dis nikkah probably said fukk that food after he got enough money during his lunch time finessse.

no i dont what they've done in the past so im not helping

A bum once refused some food I was going to take home, since then I haven't given them shyt since.

Only if I go up to them. If they come up to me asking for change for a cigarette I tell them no. I'm not supporting anyone's smoke/drug habits. If I do give something and I see one or two people sitting outside of a restaurant I'll ask them if they're hungry. Then I'll buy them a meal and give them an extra $5. That's just how my mom and I work. But you do gotta be careful there are a lot of scam artist out there.

Yes, I do. I help as much as I can. Bums are humans. Often I just offer food.

Nope.
Ignore them.
But i donate to actual organizations ever so often.

I need to do something for thanksgiving and christmas

i was in my teens and gave a bum a dollar, he said "can you make it a 5?"

haven't done it again since.

I used to


Once gave a breh a 20 cause he needed gas. I had run in with him in the past and he was always cool

Caught me one night said he ran out of gas and he needed to get home. Said he would pay me back next week

next week never came and very single time he would see me after that, dude would get a stone cold look on his face and walk in the other direction

For years this dude would act mad and pretend I didn't exist whenever we were in the same room

I’ve seen homeless people be ungrateful as hell. Like if you give them food instead of money. I give sometimes to a black person, but in general I do not. I do try to give to homeless drives or help handout food when I can. Want to do it for the holidays, maybe link up with a soup kitchen.

I did once after a Cavs game, shyt kinda fukked me up.

It was winter and someone was out sleeping under blankets in the snow. I was always on that nah I won't til i saw it with own two eyes the shyt they put up with. A few dollars won't hurt

Gave an older homeless breh a five yesterday then chopped it up with him about the Redskins-Saints game

I'm not going through it so fukk I look like being miserly over a couple bucks

Once in a blue moon i do. Seattle has a shytton of homeless transients so youll go broke fast trying help them (half of em are Black too ).

Had one brotha just straight up say "man i haven't eaten in two days..." as i was leaving Burger King. Handed a burger over with the quickness. shyt had me fukked up.

yea cause id want someone to help me

If it’s a breh and I feel he’s sincere I’ll help him out a bit

When I can, I feel I should do it more

Mad respect, as someone who puts in about 400hrs at a shelter per year .

I'll say this though, try to give resources not money. If a person says they're hungry, offer them food. If they tell you what they need see if you can accommodate in anyway. I gave away some old shoes (single pair) cause his shyt was like

Dude was probably the most appreciative person Ive ever met in my life. They were just some shoes I didn't wear anymore and was gonna mow the lawn in or throw out.


Give food or old clothes. I could type a novel based on my career. I deal with these people daily. Cash is a quick way to close an interaction but its not the answer. Your funky lil $10 has never helped a person finally have enough to put down the deposit and first months rent on an apartment, or get a room for the night to stay out of the cold or rain.

Once money goes, its gone. If a guy is standing outside of the grocery store dont give him $5 buy him a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and jelly. He can eat sandwiches for days and it wont cost you much.

You have a right to know where your money goes. Ask what is this for? Then you can see how you can accommodate. Like above, dude might say he wants "shoes" or "gloves" or "a hat" you can easily buy them shyts at gas stations, grocery stores, dollar stores....dont give them the receipts either. We're far too busy to watch these dudes but a lot of these cats are parking in the shopping center and walking to the intersection and holding a sign for hours then walking back to the car and going home. People talking bout "Im just trying to get money to get on the bus to go back home to....." 3 weeks later they are still in your city/state. Dont get finessed or just give your money away to feel good for yourself. ensure that your helping someone for real. Its a simple process once you do it enough, its not a long interrogation and hearing a life story. Its usually very quick and simple "Do you have any spare change?" "For what?" "I just want to get something to eat" "Whatchu want?".

Real talk.

One thing that my Aunt does that I'm going to start doing is just making a little bundles of essentials to give out when she's making moves. She's not even in good health yet I'll stop by randomly and she's sitting in her chair putting toothpaste/toothbrushes, hand sanitize and other stuff together. I also see a sweet older white lady who hits the Walmart parking lot everyday with a cooler full of waters in the summer.

It's fine to be interested in what the money is going toward but turning a blind eye to a hungry baby because you got too much pride to be 'scammed' out of a happy meal is some bytch nikka shyt.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Some guy was outside of five guys the other day and asked me to buy him a burger. I said nah and kinda felt bad but then again five guys burgers start at 7. He shouldve been more meager. I come out with my burger and dude like "you really not gonna help a brother out?!!...you weak!"....I just smh and dipped. Saw a few days later out side of chipotle. Smh

Just buy a box of granola bars and keep them in your car. When you pass those dudes, be like "Here breh" When I go to Aldi I usually cop some beef sticks and granola bars, but they aint gettin no dinos and sharks.

As far as the kids, check the the person that they are with. Do they look like they are high or drunk? Or getting sober? If so call CPS or 911 and have them do a child welfare check, let them decide. Kids dont have to suffer in America. And to be honest parents that cannot do well for there children often reach out so their child can be clothed and fed rather than suffer with them. There are shelters that take women and children and CPS can ensure the child and mom get to that place, otherwise if shes unfit

 

[Buckeye Fever]

fukk no.

They should just die. They bring nothing to society but flies, funk, and frustration.

 

[FSP]

Yeah I give them change whenever I can spare it lol

 

[Playeroni]

Nah, I beat them to the punch when I see them getting ready to ask and I ask them for $5

Thought I was the only one who did this. They be fukked up too like “I was just about to ask you mane” . Some of em would bel like come on let go ask him(random person) lol
