Published at 02/21/2012 03:39:18

Introduction

As you know, there are many children and adults that are homeless. The reasons for being homeless are many.

There are many risks involved with being homeless.  Many homeless people mentally decay and they instead of trying to get a job or anything else to help themselves getting out of that situation, they start stealing , robbing and even killing for money or food. Some of them try to burst into other people homes, cars, shops in order to get a good night sleep. Homeless is a very common issue not for one or two year but for at least two or three years. To end up homeless we all need an affordable house, because if you get an expensive house and you will not be able to pay for it you risk of becoming a homeless person, we also must make efforts to provide shelter, warm beds, warm meals, clothes for those who are in need.

We all should participate and help those people. we should at least for a second to imagine that we are in their place and we need help. If you regularly participate in street outreach or volunteer at a homeless shelter, consider taking your involvement a step further by becoming involved in advocacy efforts and this not only will help the homeless people but you will help yourself. If the word "homeless" brings to mind a not very well unkempt man with layers of clothing sitting on piece of cardboard, or in a subway, panhandling, then you need a reality check to find out how really things stay. This common image is not always inaccurate, but in no way does it represent the vast majority of homeless people all over the world.

In fact, families are the fastest growing part of the homeless population. most of these families are led by a single mother with two-three children or more that don't have a husband or anyone else who could take care of them. You may think why this image persists and the answer is very simple, because we can't see it and it is not a very easy story to put on a front page of a magazine or a newspaper. Most importantly is to understand that homelessness is not a stigma, but rather the state of not having a home in which to live and we all should bring a piece of hope for these people.
