Homeless and alone

When a homeless man asked a lady for some food, she began to shout.

She slapped his face after she cussed him out.

He went to a few more houses and those people either did something similar or the same.

The man finally died of starvation and that was a damn shame.

He was missing his right hand and he couldn't work.

He might still be alive if those people hadn't been jerks.

There were no homeless shelters in his town so he had to make out the best that he could.

If we ever have the opportunity to help someone in need, we should.

I so totally agree with you in your piece. When I was growing up in NY I remember seeing many on the streets and if you can do it you should always help even if only in a small means be monetary,a meal,clothing whatever you can..I also remember when I lived in california when my kids were small we rented a small house and one night a guy came knocking at the door asking for help.We gave him a meal and he was so greatful.
