A New Jersey couple who raised $400,000 to help a homeless man who helped the girlfriend when she ran out of gas was ordered to give the rest of the money to the man. Homelessness isn’t always about lack of money. Some homeless people have deeper issues that a GoFundMe drive can’t help. Think twice before projecting your own biased ideas on others without asking.
As Usual, Governor Kasich’s Magic Math Hurts The Poor
Normally if someone insisted on doing something even after it was proven they were wrong, that person would have their mental state questioned.
