[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really sorry that happened and it must have been scary.

As for what to do going forward, drop romanticizing homeless people. Yes some homeless people are violent. Yes some take advantage of charity. Yes some don’t appreciate the donations given. Don’t give to people on the street. Don’t worry about crossing the street and avoiding someone who gives you pause. Trust your gut and turn around, cross the street whatever. Don’t immediately defend homeless people in conversation by insisting they are just people down on their luck. Sure a few are but many have serious problems. When you constantly tell yourself that and other people do to you ignore the reality when you are in a situation. [/quote]

This.

If you would like to donate, consider organizations like Friendship Place or A Wider Circle. I would never pull out cash on the street these days. [/quote]

Thanks for that feedback. Perhaps A Wider Circle then, it focuses on aiding women and children.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't give to Friendship Place. As far as I can tell they said and abet homeless living on street. We've had the same homeless for years and more moving in, inches from FP. When they can show stats on how they move people to treatment and placement, I'd give.[/quote][/quote]
