Would you or do you help the homeless even if you do not have much yourself?

I really do not have much. Yet this happened just last night.

Coming back from my nightly walk, not to far from where I live, I came across a homeless person.

He was in very much of a sad state. Clothed in rags, no real shoes. A sock and house shoe on one foot. Bare foot and a piece of cardboard just covering the toes on the other.

I won't go into the full story, there is a lot to it. Some of it I just couldn't be of help.

Yet I felt sorry for the guy. Heck no shoes nor sock!

So I still had my old worn-out work boots from two years ago and plenty of old socks. He also got an unopened box of Cheerios and a can of V-8 after all was done.

I see homeless here some of the time. Most of time I just don't see how I can help.

Yet this one time I could do at least a little. Would you?

As long as I have spare change I always give some to beggars. But most of the time I prefer to give food/ drink.

@Gelartsyyy Did with food as well, yet I had those boots and drawers of old socks. He needed that more I think

@DeWayfarer Yes. You gave what you could give and what you thought he needed that night instead of just ignoring him, that itself is enough :))

@DeWayfarer I had an old Levi jacket and black wool cowboy hat I gave to a homeless guy years ago. He was so happy!🥰 I continue to give stuff away all the time.
