I don't really have money... my husband is the only one working (part time) and I'm going to school, but I tend to be a person that wants to help those in need.

.

There's a couple of homeless people that tend to hang out at my school (it's downtown by the bus station and our library is also the public library). I never have any money but sometimes I have some extra food in my lunch I give out like hard boiled eggs and such.

.

They still always ask, but I never have money and sometimes I only have a little food when to share (1 extra egg or something but a group of 3 fellows). I've been homeless before, so I know that there's a lot of great people out her that simply have been put into a terrible circumstance. I always feel like I'm not doing enough, or by saying "I have no money, but I've got an extra egg in my lunch" may appear to be offensive.

.

So many homeless people are assumed to be terrible alcoholics etc. Am I being rude or weird? I simply just am living paycheck to paycheck and don't have the time (currently) to volunteer for programs that help those in less need.
