What is wrong with this picture???
We are spending all kinds of money feeding and housing the HOMELESS.
They have a warm place to sleep, a shower, if they want it, meals, free cellphones and free medical.
I have a 31-year-old niece with three little kids and she is fighting cancer. She is an amazing mother. She is eating all sorts of health food. She is doing everything she can to get through this. The medical bills are way more than her and her husband can afford. She has to do GoFundMe in order to raise money to get treatment.
Why is it we bend over backwards to help the homeless who don’t want to work or do anything to help themselves? There are Help Wanted signs all over. Why should they work when everything is handed to them?
Why does my niece have to try to raise money to get treatment and hopefully survive so she can raise her three children?
Where are the priorities here?
