Help The Homeless?


They say they can help themselves, Can they? I was six years old, living on the streets in a shopping cart. Could I help myself? My sister was 16, teaching me math on the underpass of a freeway. Could she help me? Parents, long gone. Could I help it? Next time, think before you speak. You can help it.
