1. That anyone is ever homeless for more than a few hours.
2. That there is anyone going hungry, having to steal, scam, or fish through a trash can for food.
3. Already eaten on leftovers being offered to any homeless / less fortunate people.
4. Assuming that a person who is in a seemingly desperate situation, will say yes or should, to whatever "help" is offered.
5. Getting upset when we say no to the "help" that is offered.
6. Not offering to help at all, esp with what is urgent or practical, but offering a bunch of advice or vague information about what you think we should or could do. Esp. without knowing us or our history. Or knowing and disregarding because you think you know what is best for them.
7. Asking struggling people to do more.
8. Assuming that everyone will get the help they need, or have a successful outcome from their efforts, just because there are programs, or places that help. Assuming it is automatically their fault when they are not successful.
9. Allowing or putting vulnerable people out on the street, just because your guidelines or supervisor / other says so.
10. One size fits all "help".
A line from a cool tune.
Something to consider.

Always Be Humble, You Could Be Wrong.
After that, Do No Harm, Take No ShittFromAnyone, especially the ones not showing any love.
Hope you and yours are having a wonderful day, or the day you deserve, however that works best.
Still homeless, but not hungry (thanks to several awesome people in the Clarksville community).
Nothing personal, but tired of trying to make thisshittwork and I still plan to leave as soon as I can afford the room, Uber/Lyft, and bus, train, plane out of here.
FYI, trust issues mean I don't want to share a room or a ride with so many, thanks but no thanks for your "well meaning" offers????
