sadly, I think many do it. I feel so uncomfortable at this one street corner where guys stand with signs as we drive by. There is really no time to stop and give them money because of the traffic and we can't even know if they are truly in "need" so I just avert my eyes.

I prefer giving to the organizations that help the homeless.

I am so there. It seems like where ever I go, they target older women, and that irritates me since many in my age group are the "soft touches".

So sad. I usually make eye contact and smile. Smiles are free <3

A smile and a hello counts as kindness for sure.
