<p>Haha, Liist, my mom and I gave a homeless guy a dollar last week 'cause when we offered him food, he had the integrity to admit that he just wanted money for cigarettes. </p>
<p>OP: What you’re doing is great. You are truly going to make a difference in this man’s life. And I completely agree with what you said: often, people are forced into homelessness by things beyond their control – and the system perpetuates the situation, creating a vicious cycle from which it is almost impossible to escape. I admire you for what you’re doing!</p>
