I Feel Sorry For Homeless People

I go to poor areas in my city to find homeless people and share food. But I feel broken and even cry when remember their faces. I am becoming damaged physiologically after seeing them, but I want to continue help them.

Self care comes first. There is such a thing as compassion fatigue. Eat right, exercise and get rest and you can serve others the best.

Also, I'd suggest joining an organization devoted to helping the homeless so you don't feel so alone with your compassion.

Your heart is obviously in the right place. Just take care of yourself.
