who wou;ld you turn away from your home

I like to help people.. I have a soft place in my heart for homeless especially. if someone needed help and I could offer it I sure would. I have given a homeless man clothing before. and spent time talking with him, he would come sit on my porch and talk to me and my ex husband. Where I am from the city is full of homeless people. we do have some shelters but they do fill up. especially on the cold nights.. we have had homeless people pass away because of the cold. they just couldnt handle it. but some of them dont want to be in a shelter, they dont want to deal with the rules or sometime they just dont want to deal with the people. they want to be left alone and be in their own world.. we have this HUGE empty building downtown that used to be a nursing home.. I mean its huge, tons of rooms in it. and its just sitting empty. I would LOVE to be able to open it up for either homeless or abused women and children.. I dont know how to do that and sure dont have money to fund it or start it but its something I would love to do.. I love the feeling I get from helping people and when I cant help I feel bad.

I have invited friends in to stay with me and even they have stolen and taken advantage of my kindness. i wouldnt let anyone stay with me unless i trusted them. maybe i just had a few bad experiences, but i would rather give them some money for food and shelter then let them into my home. i wanna feel safe in my house :)

Yeah, it would be hard to turn someone away. At least you could help them for a day or two, maybe get them into a shelter or something. Give them a few $$ if you could.
