Raising money is not always the solution to a problem!

If some one is drowning, raising money to help him is not going to make a difference. To help a drowning person we must jump in the water, and pull them out.
That is my way of seeing things when it comes to helping the homeless. In other words if you want to help the homeless, you got to invest body and soul!
Human service, many times is an emontional roller coaster where money is an easier cleaner means of divorcing one's self from the street and it's uglyness,
the emontional costs are much more dirty with tears, grime and blood at times.
We lost a homeless freind to cancer a few days ago. No family there with him and he died alone in the hospital.
We can't stop homelessness but we can help fight it.
