My philosophy is anything is better than nothing.My dad and mom used to take me and my sister to feed the homeless every Thanksgiving and some of the homeless were the kindest and nicest people ever. I remember my sister used to go home crying her eyes out. She is now a professor at one of the local universities and teaches sociology, she is also a staff member at one of the local nonprofits that work to help out the homeless. It is a huge problem here in Los Angeles and surrounding cities. My wife and I do what we can, but you always feel like it's never enough.
Let’s face it in many cases it’s “there but for the grace of god” even if you don’t believe in a god.
