My Good Deed

[Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza]

I find it offensive when people just assume that homeless people are lazy and could get a home if they tried hard enough, because my family was homeless once. It's indescribably difficult to get out of such a deep hole, and it wasn't our fault we were in that hole. I'm not saying that this is normally the case. There is, in fact, many homeless people that are just lazy drug users and fit all the homeless stereotypes. Maybe it's even the majority of homeless people, but there are also millions of homeless people who aren't lazy, and didn't get into their hole because they don't care.
