I passed these two folks who had settled in for the night on the sidewalk just outside Macy's.
Those pigeons were eating whole wheat bread scraps, btw.
Some rich, some poor; all happy. Keep it dialed here 'cause Broke Girl knows a thing or two about a great relationship with all things monetary.
That is just so sad.
ReplyDeleteDear SHG, Yes, so sad, but very common in my town (and now everywhere, even rural areas). There *are* available beds in shelters around the city; some people choose not to go to them for various reasons--they weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and presumably these fellows (or a couple, or women I did not see their faces) prefer to be out on their own.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is my duty to share a bit of moolah with homeless people. Many result from several dire events occurring simultaneously - too much to overcome all at once. For others, the circumstance was borne as a result of mental illness.
