Try to help

Next time you see someone homeless, hand them a bottle of water. Or give them a blanket. Even if you are unable to provide them with a lot of things, trying to help someone, is better than driving by them in your car, not thinking about helping them. I know this will take some time. But if people start to participate, and show they really do care about those who are suffering, this can go a long way. The change depends on you and your dedication. If we can become a loyal team, we can really start to make a difference. Here are some ways you can help someone in need, without overdoing it. 

1. Give them food: 

• Water 
• Sandwiches
• Crackers
• Granola bars

     2. Give them warmth: 

 

• Blanket 
• Pillow
• Sleeping bag
• Sheets 

    3. Give them clothes. 

• Shirts 
• pants 
• socks 
• jackets 
• hats 
• coats
• gloves 

    If you are a really sweet person, and you are financially stable, and you trust them enough, you can always offer them a job. Either they can help with your farm. Help keep your yard clean, or help around the house, they can work for money. But be careful. You do not know this person or what they are capable of. The might try to hurt you, rob you. So make sure you are prepared. Here are some things you can do to make sure you are safe, if you decide to help someone in need: 

1. Alarm system 
2. Hide valuable objects 
3. Do not give them a key to the house 
4. Do not let them stay at your house during the day when you are gone 
5. Do not let them stay in your house with you. A shed or another house separate from your house.
6. Do not over pay them 
7. Do not spoil them, they are working for you until they are on their feet

If you start to feel uncomfortable at any time. It is best if you stop helping them. However, be careful. They know where you live, and they can always show up whenever they want. Its a blessing to help, but you should always be prepared for the worst.
