A small step - How can we help homeless people in our community?

VRINDA SHAHJan 10 2022

We can’t imagine surviving our lives in unimaginable conditions on roads and streets, wanting everything to be lavish. Yet, there is a large population which has to survive and overcome through such unbearable conditions. Can anyone survive if there is no place for them to sit down or fall asleep or to store their belongings? These scenarios are unimaginable for several people, except for the homeless people, these scenarios are a part of their daily lives. Some people loathe the poverty-stricken individuals of our society. In lieu of helping them as a token of humanity, love, compassion and empathy towards them being unfortunate they show hatred and dislike.

The significant quantity of individuals isn’t even conscious of the situation of homelessness in that is happening in most of the main cities of the world. In contrast, a portion is turning a blind eye to the subject, knowing the situation. The frequently occurring poverty and homelessness can be difficult to discuss for those living a wealthy lifestyle. Those people which are aware of the situation of homelessness, feel that their contribution will not make a difference to the widespread severity of this issue that they give up not understanding that someone has to take the first step towards a change and help change others mindsets.

Although dejectedly these individuals are found everywhere; everyone can help reduce this increasing number. The number of homeless individuals will gradually decrease by providing the essential aid required to place these individuals in permanent housing.

The leading causes of homelessness are unaffordability of housing, single parenting, increases in poverty rates, mental health and trauma and also due to lack of education and training. Our society can remove chronic homelessness by providing low income and affordable housing for the homeless population. There are many more ways to help people experiencing homelessness beyond giving money on the street, steps that you can take to empower the organizations working to help people living on the streets long-term. Some of the most practical ones which I feel are make cards to promote nearby shelters, donate clothes, especially socks, volunteer your time, fundraise with social media, research your local candidates, respond with kindness, develop lists of shelters, bring food, give money, donate clothing, donate a bag of groceries and volunteering at a shelter.

I would like to conclude by saying that if we all work together and understand the fact that small changes also make a great difference then we can gradually make the world a better place where everyone has equal rights to survival and everyone is happy and content with their lives in the future.

Bye !!
