Not all of us are fortunate in life, some of us are the victims of others greed as well as victims of ourselves. Regardless of our fate, sometimes we loose it all and become homeless, wanderers, vagabonds, broke and down on our luck. Those that go homeless, don't choose to suffer, and don't deserve to suffer.
Our society has hard feelings against the homeless; calling them underachievers, bums, hobos, lazy, or mentally ill...
Because a person isn't like everyone else, doesn't give us the opportunity to judge them, or deny them help. So R.C.O.V. for the Homeless, contributes to them useful help:
-Go to shelters and soup kitchens and volunteer your time
-Gather supplies for the Homeless (i.e. - food, clothing, survival supplies, backpacks and bags)
-Convince them to shelters and other locations for food and help
-Just comfort and talk to them... (Everyone needs a friend)

It's true that SOME are just lazy bums, but that's NOT the majority. Most have problems that make them unhirable... dyslexia, bipolar, schizophrenic, anaphylaxsis, manic depressive, paranoia, anger management, mental illness, asbergers syndrome, pain, spasms and seizures, uncontrollable yelling or dirty words, bladder and bowl problems... I could go on and on... and they just aren't capable enough to do what it takes to get onto disability.
im glad you posted gaddis, and your absolutely right, which is why it's so important to be their friends and help them with the items they need for survival
