An old friend from my ex was kicked on the street with all his stuff cause he hadnt paid rent and he hadn't seen him in years, but all of a sudden God said he should call him and he did and it turned out he was just kicked out of his house, so he lived with us until he found a new house. I cooked for him the first evening that he was there. He said: I will cook from now on. LOL He was the most fabulous cook. Every day he cooked for us and I kept saying hmmmm yum delicious magnificent. It was absolutely fabulous. I didn't have to cook and it tasted great.
But that was someone my ex knew. A homeless person you don't know, I rarely help them. They can get govt money here. There are places, where they can sleep. When they ask for money they don't even do effort to hide the fact that they use my money for marijuana. I gave one guy money at a bus stop. He walked straight to the other side of the street, to a coffee shop to buy marijuana. There goes your good deed. Now I'm guilty of enabling him to get drugs.
Once we went to the KFC and there was no room to eat, so we found a bench outside and ate there and then I saw a homeless guy laying there and was like: did we just take his bench? So I gave him money for food, cause he didn't ask me for it. And there was an American guy on christian forums years ago. There were 2 people posting. Someone else and me. It was in the middle of the night. I was bored and couldnt sleep. All of a sudden that guy made a post that he was ready to meet his Maker, because he lost his job and would become homeless. So I preached and warned him. Don't kill yourself. It was no use. So then I said: But can noone just take you in their house? If noone wants to do that come here. We'll pay your plane ticket. You can come live here in my house. I just didnt know what else to do. I have 1 bedroom for me and 3 kids. Welcome to Holland! What does he know. Here's a cosy place on the couch. Apparently that was all he needed, just someone who was kind and cared. I think his parents took him in. I'm still Facebook friends with him.
Oh I forgot a Polish guy. But that was also when I had a partner. I can't do that alone. There are so many crazy people. They treat Polish very bad. They may do the lousy low paid jobs and then they let them live with 20 in a tiny house for insane much rent and the others living in that house kicked this guy out, so he was just wandering on the streets at night and that ex invited him in our home for a night and we showed him how to get something better and cheaper. He was just working full time. Great guy. He bought Chinese food and insisted on sharing it with us. And once a girl lived with us, but she was not really homeless. In a way. She had no students room and living at home was a disaster cause her dad was a cult leader with a wife and a mistress living in the yard house and she had 11 brothers and sisters.
And I was in a church. That pastor and his wife just picked up homeless people from a mall, but they were on drugs. They took them to their home and they walked all the way back to the mall in a city 5 kilometers away from there. I also know a couple who have a church who really help these homeless, but they have loads of places and staff and money to help them.
