There are projects, organizations, and shelters that she and her kids can go. We pay taxes for tons of programs (like welfare for example) that i don't feel I need to reach into my pocket and give more of my hard earned money. I personally am all about helping others, but when a person refuses to do anything to help themselves they have no one to blame but themselves.

This is also why I dont give money to bums and homeless people with their hands out. Not trying to rant but where I live the homeless pop is quite large. There are those that are trying to get back on their feet and doing what they can to do so, and there are others who just want hand outs.

If you really want to help this woman and her kids, take her to the nearest shelter, or since she has a car to sleep in give her directions and some gas.

So sorry if this hurts anyones feelings or if i come off as to blunt, but I don't like guilt trips :P
