I work in a drop-in center for the homeless and transiet population in Winnipeg. Some of these people are just so amazing, the public assume right away that they are all just drug addicted or alcholics but that is not always the case. Many people have lost their jobs and can't get help from E.I.A (welfare) and land up sleeping on the river bank or under a bridge and in this province that is dangerous, mostly in the winter. The goverment has to do more to help the needy and start to look at them as people and not just junkies who want to get high or drunk. It's a very sad situation and we need to help as many as we can.
