Do you give homeless people money or not?

My personal opinion on the situation of giving homeless people money is that I don’t think you should in most cases but sometimes you should. Majority of the time I won’t give money to homeless people because they frequently spend it on the wrong things such as alcohol or drugs. If I were going to give them money I would most likely buy them food to insure that they spend the money on the necessities needed to survive. Another reason why I wouldn’t give them money is that some of the lie about being poor and are faking it. I personally knew a lady who would go into Boston and would act like she is poor. This was her only job and she made an estimated $40,000 a year by begging for money and acting like she is homeless. The $40,000 goes straight into her pocket also because it isn’t taxed so she made a significant amount of money by doing this. She drives a Mercedes Benz and she never has to work a day in her life. This is why I wouldn’t trust giving homeless people money. Instead of giving money directly to the homeless people I rather donate the money to a shelter or a soup kitchen because then I would be able to trust that the money would be used for a good cause. So, if you don’t trust giving them the money directly, give it to a foundation because the ones who actually need it will go there to receive the money in the proper ways.
