If they are asking for money, I often walk past. If they will take food directly or will go with me to someplace to eat, I will pay for a meal. But I quit giving money directly to homeless I don’t know. So, no, I don’t feel guilty because I have done things to help them if they will let me but I will not enable them, adding to their troubles.
