Giving stuff to Homeless Facility

I was shocked to know that here in America, there are people who are homeless. I said to myself when my friend told me about it, REALLY? I thought only in the 3rd world country where you can find people who are homeless. I am so curious about why there are homeless here? My friend said that, some of them lost their homes due to calamities, and others they are drug addicts and others have lost their jobs and they can not afford to pay their house or even to rent one.

Well, everywhere is like that I think. Then, I am just wondering where are they staying at day time because the homeless shelter will let them stay at night only so that they have place to sleep. My friend said that they will just roam around the street bringing their bags with them. Oh what? I did not see any, like what I will always see in Philippines. Everywhere there are people asking for money, going around everywhere but here in America, they have facilities who will provide food for the homeless. There are soup kitchen where people can just go there to eat for free.

Yesterday, I went with my friend to the home shelters delivering stuff for the homeless people who are there. We give them more than a hundred individual packs of goods ready to use. We've got these from donations in the church. Oh wow!! I am wishing there are some things like these for the people in my country who are just staying in the street and no place to go and no food to eat. I did not hear of any shelters there except the DSWD which is also full of people who are needy and that they government is also categorizing of whom they are going to accept there. But in America, there are lots of private facilities as well as government facilities which will help people. And there are many also who are willing to donate food and clothing to those who need it. Well, the needy in United states are still better and well provided compared to those who are in other countries.

See the differences?

No wonder why many would like to come to America it's because of it's abundance in many ways. Food, clothing and more. As what I observed, the poorest man here in America is still better than the poor man in other countries. I mean, hello,... the poor man here has a car and a house to live. But the poor people in other countries have no house to live and no food to eat.
The government here in America is supporting the poor. The needy can apply for government aid and there are many organizations who are helping the homeless. Many people who have things to share will give their donations to the needy. That is great!!!

Well, in some countries, you can see children and grown up in the streets begging for food and money. Well, I am just wondering why they do that? they are not disable? they can work, like car washing, selling something or anything their hands can do, they can earn. The problem is they are lazy. Most are just hanging around talking to friends, having good time instead of looking for something to do in order to earn.

Here in America, people have always something to do, except maybe for others who are disabled but even then, they are doing something. They are not begging on the streets.
There is a blind couple in our church, they are supported by the government but still they are working some crafts that their hands can do even if they can't see. Most people here are not having servants to work for them, they will do the work at home themselves even if they are busy in their full time job outside home. Most have no time to stay idle. But in other countries?
they have house helper to do the task at home, cook for their food, wash their clothes and most of their house helpers are stay in. Well, very seldom here have house helpers who are stay in.
Most helpers are paid per hour. When the work is done, they will be out.
I have seen the big differences when I myself had seen it. I just heard things like these before but now I see the differences.
