Would you buy an elder person a bed if they did not have one?

And you could afford one? I was down at the local park and this older man started talking to me. He was very nice, very drunk but nice. He told me he did not have a bed. He was sleeping in a chair with a foam mattress. It broke my heart. I am thinking about buying him a bed. What would you do?

@SW-User nice but you'll need to know where he lives might be hard to surprise him

SW-User

@Butterflykisses24 He told me where he lives. I will just have to find it. I may take him some food tomorrow after work.

You're so altruistic, we need more people like you! 🤗

SW-User

@HannibalAteMeOut Thank you. He touched my heart. He was not a user either. He said he did not need a bed. The poor guy is old and everyone needs a bed.

The story touched me as well. True, everyone needs water, food and a roof above their heads. I wish no one had to go through such bad situations but the world is full of them.

SW-User

@HannibalAteMeOut I know, and it breaks my heart seeing people have to live like that. He has lived homeless in the past. He said before he moved to where is now, he was sleeping in someones barn. The poor man broke my heart.

If I had the money I would in a heartbeat.

SW-User

@Elysian I got the money and I am going to do it. You are a good person.

@SW-User Good for you ..you are lovely. I have had no bed before so I know what that's like.

SW-User

@Elysian Thank you. I never lived but for a few days once without a bed. I slept on the floor and that was painful. I can't imagine living without a bed.

Even if true, why would you sleep in a chair? If you had a foam mattress? A sofa maybe, but chair is just making it uncomfortable, many people sleep on foam mattress as a matter (or mattress) of course.
And also, what's it with drunk people? Is that supposed to make people more honest and approachable? And communicate that they don't have money for basic necessities?

SW-User

@Faust76 HE never said it like that. I was the one that brought up the bed. I said that all one needs is a bed to sleep in and food to eat. That is when he mentioned that he did not even need a bed and said he slept in a chair with a foam mattress. I think he had to live like that because he don't have the money for a bed. Anyway I am going to get him a bed.

Sob story... He didn't need a bed.. he wants$$ for drugs.

SW-User

@m457189 No it was not like that at all. He told me he did not need a bed. Anyway I would buy it for him and not give money. He was drunk but he did not look like a drug addict.

SW-User

I would buy him a bed,if I had the money.

SW-User

@SW-User Yes, me too. I have the money and I am going to do it. No one should have to sleep in a chair. He said he did not need one but I disagree.
