When some people hear that someone is homeless they begin to think the person is lazy. But maybe that's not even the worst part.
Society forgets that homeless people are people! Homeless people, by definition, have the problem of living without a home. That's obvious. But let's remember that for the most part a person experiencing homelessness has all the other problems that you and I have.
They have health problems. They have financial problems. They have transportation problems. And they still deal with the pain that life throws at each of us through deaths in the family, injuries, and other life challenges.
Let's quit treating them as though they are some sort of subhuman species!
