As a student in Tempe, Arizona, I encounter homeless people multiple times a day. They walk around campus, stand around businesses, and sleep on benches early in the morning and late at night. This is a problem for the safety of students as well as others around campus; also, a clear problem that these people need to be housed. The city government should take a stronger stance on finding permanent homes for the homeless instead of providing temporary relief through shelters, the government also has
snowflakes in their mouths. Watching different people pass through the streets bundled up in their coats and sweaters heading in different directions. Seeing the homeless and the cold beg for something hot to eat or drink. One woman was so desperate that she grabbed a man by his knees. Sighing, I got up from my spot and headed over to the cashier. "Ethan, can I get another hot chocolate with a turkey sandwich?" He raised a brow at me. "Another homeless person out on the street?" I nodded my head and
can, asking people to help your family and you survive. No one notices you when you're out there in the cold under a box with one blanket. You don’t have a lot of clothing, money, or even someone to help you. Helping people is something that opens up my heart, so I wanted to research this topic because there are people that are out there that need homes, shelter, food, and water. For example, Hurricane Maria just happened and now a lot of people in Puerto Rico don’t have homes. People don’t need to
Image being homeless, and not having a stable dwelling to call home. For a majority of people throughout the United States reality is true for these Americans. For example, waking up every day, not knowing where your next meal will come from; having to asking strangers for a few dollars, to get something to eat and drink. For instance, Crisis, the homeless charity, Perhaps this week has been active for 50 years says 114,780 people were homeless in England during two-thousand fifth-teen and two-thousand
year, thousands of homeless people in the country will face not only the harsh weather but also the possibility of arrest simply because they do not have a place to stay. Even by standing in the wrong corner, they can be picked up, charged and spent a night in jail. All over the country, major cities are passing laws that make homelessness and panhandling illegal. As shelters face critical shortage of beds, blankets, and food, some law makes it illegal to feed and shelter the homeless. There are many
Sierra Nicole had risked running a last-minute errand to pick up a few more supplies. As she headed for the grocery store, she found herself mesmerized and tormented by the slow-moving lines of people waiting to receive their ID cards. She dismissed her need for supplies, sat on a bench, and mourned for the thousands who would soon be going to bed hungry. Sierra’s audience perceived her as a strong-willed woman with a tenacious appetite for being in control. They didn’t associate the political commentary
No food, no home, no job this is how people are living in the world today. Many people all over the world have lost their jobs, have got addicted to drugs, or even they have a metal illness that is causing them to not be able to live a normal life everyday. Those people will live in boxes, benches, or on the ground with no cover over them to be warm and safe from the wilderness. But with there being some people out there trying to help others and try to make others who are not as lucky as them become
not give back. They is lots of poverty here and a large amount of homeless people. There's not really a good way to help people living here, because, the people here are living on the land that belongs to the Indians. People cannot build a new structure, because, of the treaties made long ago. Also, the current building is crumbling, and will not be worth it to be remodeled them. As to assist the people living there, the people would have to move to a region outside of the Indians land. I look at
you will almost always come across homeless men, women and even children. And what do we do? We keep driving. We keep walking. Most of the time, we just ignore them altogether. Why is that? Is it fear? Is it disgust? We simply ignore the issue; we ignore them. Whether it's our nature as human beings to avoid outcasts, or solely depends on environment factors and our upbringing, it's a mistake. Ignoring people who are suffering and who struggle, is wrong. These people don’t have a bed to fall into at
Ever since I was a little girl I was focused on helping those around me. The first major difference I made was participating in a school-wide feed the homeless situation. We were told to use giant ziplock bags and to put nonperishable food in them. If we were to see a homeless person on the street we were to give them the bag. This occurred in the fourth grade, ever since then I have been passionate about helping those who cannot help themselves. In ninth grade my Pre-AP English teacher had us come
