What Moves People to Help The Homeless? A Small Sampler

What moves people to help people who become homeless? Some are moved by hands-on helping, however unusual it may be. Try, for example: London, Ontario: People Worth Crocheting For

Homeless will be solved, nation by nation, as their populations are moved enough by this pernicious tragedy to actively add their energy to the collective will.

What many shapes might individual action take? A hands-on determination to directly assist the people who are homeless? Certainly. An oblique effort to influence the thinking of friends, neighbours and fellow citizens? That, too is a worthwhile objective.

We’re keeping our eye out for them. Here are a couple:

One in the National Catholic Register: Music For the Soul: Composing for the Human Dignity of the Homeless

. . . and . . .

another in Stars and Stripes: Donations mount after homeless vet’s dog died. Police in NC arrested him for begging.

. . . and . . . .
