Its a shame, a place like this filled with so much money still cant accomadate some.

Ones with dogs I do. I buy dog food for then too /saint

Outside of my college that are loads of them, I literally have no money though, so I always have to say no. I feel bad, but I used to do charity work so I'm not all that bad.

No never

Vicky. 21-05-2014 12:02 PM

No but if I am pissed I have been known to buy a coffee/sandwich etc for them.

I did used to give to one guy quite regularly though//got to know him through work (he was ALWAYS outside my workplace when I was waiting to go home)

I know of people though..and this sounds ridiculous but its true...who sit on the street to get money then go home after hitting a certain target. 2 people I 'know' do this. Kinda sours my views on giving cash tbh...hence giving food/drink instead

Yes I do, I feel very fortunate in my life and for whatever reasons these individuals find themselves on the streets,I decide for myself not to make any judgements and when I come across them I will hand them some funds.

I have also taken them for a meal or got a takeaway and had one with them,talked to them a fair bit and the life stories are fascinating.

I am aware that I never know, one day I could be on the streets for any reason/s,so I feel a duty,only speaking for myself, to reach out to others who appear to be and may well be far less fortunate than I am.

I don't give money. I buy them something to eat and drink instead.

Beso 17-03-2021 05:44 PM

Of course I do..

Each and everytime I see someone I like the look of.

Or a horse I see in the paper that takes my fancy I will usually give to the beggers at traffic lights that have the limps to raise my karma levels before the off..

I do write down the lucky intersections for future encounters...
