It's a little late to lament after death for a homeless
person. There are literally hundreds of organizations nationwide taking
in millions of dollars to help the homeless.Here is just one source: https://www.justgive.org/donations/help-homeless.jsp
It sounds like there is a severe misappropriation of funds that are
intended for the homeless population of Jacksonville.We put stories of
children on television that need homes.We showcase animals that need
homes.Why don't we put our homeless on local T.V.?I am continuously
giving to charities,but then read stories about known victims of
homelessness.
Are these people choosing to go in and out of jail,not work, and live
on the streets?Or are they homeless by no fault of their own?If they
have been to jail they will come down with Aids.Our mentally ill are in
jail.Is this part of the homeless problem?Are these people addicts and
only need treatment and support to become a contributing member of
society?Is there some reason we cannot force people to submit to
treatment in order to become productive?
None of these are new questions.I don't know anybody that hasn't had a
friend or acquaintance that has not needed help. I've needed help. None
of us get anywhere without help,another word for networking,trading, or
knowing who to speak to get what you want or need.
We are so busy with hosting dinners for status,partying in the name
of Jesus, or over-stuffing ourselves into obesity and early handicapped
living that we can't seem to distinguish between those that really need
help, and those that are just waiting to get into the promised land by
showing up in church.
Churches need to shelter people, and open their doors seven days a
week to help the shelters.They need to help feed,clothe,and medicate
those in need,not just pay lip-service to these humanitarian
ideals.Churches need to live what they preach, and show by example.If
not, then they are no more than social clubs,selling followers toxic
elixir. https://www.facebook.com/atheistshelpingthehomeless
