Where Does the Money Go?

This past weekend me and mother when grocery shopping for Easter Sunday Dinner at Shoppers. Every time we’re in that plaza there is always the same homeless guy standing on the curb by the street light with a sign that says “HOMELESS AND NEED MONEY”. It just breaks my heart to see someone struggling in life and having to beg people for money and have no place to live. Every time I see this man, my mom and I always give money to him and whoever else is homeless and asking for money because we know exactly how they feel and what they are going through.

The good thing about giving homeless people money is that they always say those three words that just touch your heart and make your day better “God Bless You”. When I hear those words I always feel like I’m doing the right thing. By me doing the right thing I know at the end something good is coming out of it.

After I gave the homeless man the money my mom and I were actually talking about what the homeless people do with their money. I believe most of the money we give to homeless people goes to food, clothing and other items they need to be honest. On the other hand my mother says most money that is given to the homeless goes to alcohol and their drug addiction if they had any, which is her opinion.      But I have to say there is some truth in it because not all homeless people use the money for what they need.

When I got home I searched “where does money go when you give it to a homeless person” I found a site called Debatewise. On this you see a whole bunch of people’s different opinions on why people should give people money and why people shouldn’t. It’s just interesting to me because what my mother and I both said where other people’s opinions as well.

All I know is at the end of the day I’m doing something positive for someone no matter what they spend their money on.
