Maybe a few people were touched by our actions tonight, but I think just as importantly I learned a bit more about this city that I live in. I learned what is happening in the lives of the people around me. Now as I ride my bike to class every morning and I see the guy on the street corner, I dont see some guy needing a handout, I see a guy coming from a very broken life. I've got hope in this world, I just want to share it.

It seems like it should go without saying that not all homeless people are drug addicts, or become homeless due to drug addiction... unfortunately for all the homeless-haters, life is not that simple.
To the OP: I think your attitude and your actions are awesome. Keep it up!
