Good Samaritan In Omaha Defends Her Decision To Help Homeless Elderly Woman
Good morning, Pete – I read the blog post from the writer commenting on our situation. I would like to point out a few differences in the two situations.
Our situation is certainly not a case of DIY charity. We have not invited this woman into our home or given her money because we believe that is a deterrent from getting her the help she truly needs. Also, to the writer’s point, one must be careful. Sadly, there are others that need help that we do not feel safe to allow in our vehicles. It doesn’t mean that they aren’t entitled to help, though.
We thought that by putting this woman in the hands of the agency that she would get the helps she needs. The agency whose website states that they focus on services for mental illness and homelessness. The agency that receives federal funds to provide these services.
