“People who are homeless are not social inadequates. They are people without homes.”
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.” St Augustine
Therefore I command you, You shall open wide your hands to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in your land. Deuteronomy 15:11b (AMP)
