broke ppl can have expensive things. they can have nice phones. they can receive gifts. they can finance expensive items. people don’t have to justify all of their belongings just cause u freaks can’t understand wht its like. shut up

this girl on fb ranted about how she saw a homeless person with an iphone, and then began to belittle him and call him a “fake homeless person”… i told her that God forbid she is ever in that situation. she could lose her home and still have her iphone. she could be desperate enough to ask for money and others could call her struggles “fake” just like she did. all because she still has her iphone. not every person you see asking for help is homeless. i volunteer to feed those in need on thanksgiving and i have come across so many people who have iphones but are homeless and are just down on their luck. i even met a black man who has his own business but somehow lost his home. he is very educated and has his own name embroidered on his work shirts. they were official and everything. struggling doesn’t only mean “oh they don’t have a home”. there are so many different kinds of struggles. sometimes they are just down on their luck and that’s it. you just cannot judge. you have no clue. you never know.

Oh yes, please read this and pass it on.  Why do the homeless get so much crap if they actually still have a few things?  Is there some requirement that in order to be ‘truly homeless’ you must have absolutely nothing?  How horrible an attitude is that?  

Are people aware there are programmes available that give underprivileged persons access to things like cell phones, computers, clothing?   

Instead of being judgmental and lazy-minded, why not recognise the dignity of another human being and treat them with respect and maybe find ways to help improve the lives of others?  

There’s enough ugliness out there.  We can afford to offer up some kindness.
