Whatever you give them and anything is better than just passing them on the road. “Homeless adults have higher rates of childhood maltreatment and other adverse experiences than adults who have never been homeless” (Urban Institute). To help them with their family affairs, if they have pets or children, take them out of the hands of the homeless and tell them that they are better off than with them. Let them be able to visit if necessary. It is very important to take care of the homeless and meet their needs. They are just as human as us, but are not lucky enough to have what others have. Helping them can go as far as saving their lives depending on the things they experience on a daily basis..
