This was a good read on a topic that has been on my mind a lot lately.
I recently took to the streets in Sydney (Australia) after raising $1,300. I used this money to make up care packages and buy food which I took with me and handed out to those in need. I also slept on the street that night, learning about the people who are in those situation. It was very humbling and gave my life a lot of perspective.
I'm not sure about other places in the world, but most of the people I met were struggling with alcohol or substance abuse and giving out money to these people would only be used to fuel there addictions.
I share a very tough story of one man I met and with my thoughts on those struggling with homelessness here
Keep doing what you can for those who you feel deserve it!
All the best
