Title: Do you ever give to those with signs
Post by: charmaine56 on November 30, 2011, 08:12:41 am: I met people who sleep in the desert and in the daytime they hold up signs for money please. I also saw a man in a rest stop come with a sign please help. I have not been brave enough to hold up a sign. People tell me I should as I would be able to buy some decent food. Or sleep in a good hotel on a good day. I live on 380 a month and it runs out before the month is over. Im writing a book about living on the road. If anyone wants to publish it for me please speak up. We can split the proceeds and you can be in the book as well. :angel12:

When I was lifeguarding for the park though we would buy bodywash and stuff at the dollar store and put it in there so that the homeless population could take showers and we'd share the 60 tacos that the boys used to get on 29 cent taco days sometimes. One summer we had a guy and his little boy (about 4 maybe) living in their car and they would stop by and take showers. The dad told us constantly how much he appreciated that we did that and didn't make him feel weird. His son was adorable. :)
