This a tough and delicate situation for me. I was homeless for a good week during summer. It was hot and uncomfortable sleeping in a car!?! It was an interesting experience that I never want to do again!?! Walmart on Pinhook has at least 2 homeless people living there! It seems to be a popular spot for them to ask for money. I also have a brother living on the streets. I will not give them money! I can’t afford it!?! If I have extra money, I may buy them food from the store. Majority of the time! They don’t want it.
