Hmm, our world

i recently took a minute to "give back" so to speak and what i've found was appalling! There are so many families that have become homeless over the past year that it made my head spin. Now this is what i don't understand so walk with me......
We are one of the super power nations of the world, yet millions of our citizens are sleeping on the street. There is all this funding, yet people in charge abuse it and take from those who are already suffering.

After talking with some people that are homeless i've been told that there are openings in shelters and they would rather be on the street. Why do you ask? Well because they are treated better than being in some of these shelters.

Not only do they get treated like children, but in some cases the staff takes from people that already have so little.One such case i was told about was a lady that had very few things and when she left the shelter for the day and returned almost half of her belongings were gone. When she asked the staff about it she was told that she could be kicked out for making a fuss. Now does this make sense to anyone? There are so many other examples that im looking into at this present time, and i'm going to be adding as much in the next few weeks. This is something that people need to know.
