Hi all,
I travel back and forth exit 16 everyday, and see a handful of men and woman holding signs,” will work for food". Can't tolerate the thought of knowing someone is hungry, so I have stopped a couple times and given them food from a nearby restaurant, . It's heart breaking to know that some of these people are really hungry and homeless and it’s not just a gimmick. I feel that the City of Valdosta need to act on this issue instead of running them away.Find them a job or send them to a shelter. One guy seen the sheriff coming up the road and he took off running. Why, In this rich country can't we help the homeless? I know that some people abuse the system ,but not everyone is like that.
What moved me last month-a little elderly lady that always wear a colorful long scarf on her head-I think that's her religion-anyway, It was pouring down rain and she was cramped under a benched shaking singing or chanting something. I stopped at a gas station and called the police. Why? She needed help! Later, I found that they treated her for pneumonia, dehydration and hypertension. She is currently living in a nursing home and doing okay. I feel that I am my brother keeper, we never know what state of mind we may have in our old age- I didn’t know that woman, but I love her, because she is my sister in the Lord.
