I think that most of the people that we should spend is homeless people because homeless people tend to not have anywhere to live, they don’t have food. I think there should be a shelter for homeless people where supply food and shelter for those in need.

Most people can help by donating canned goods, clothes, and food, shelters to help people that don’t have food on the table. People that are donating to food shelters are a big help when it comes to the homeless in need. Here are a few reasons why.

A teen Kim that was 14 years old her dad was the only person that living with her and then moved out. Kim didn’t have anywhere to live she had to hear uncle Alberto’s house which no hot water, barely had any food, and smelt very bad. 5 months later, she got $180 for her birthday and then spent on alcohol and got arrested and $65 fine. And 5 months later she had nowhere to live. Homeless people like Kim are suffering to live. We can help live and food on the table with this non-profit shelter that helps homeless people.

So what do you say will you help us?
