Our Creator gives to us every day all we possess that is good, from our breath to the beauty of His Creations around us, however, because of our own selfishness, greeds, and unwilling to help one-another we are unable to live in a world without poverty and illness. Individual people possess billions today, and company's profit billions yearly ,and they are more concerned with a stock holder, and making more money for themselves, then helping a fellow person from poverty to become self-sufficient. Congresspersons, legislatures, that make laws for our nation are more concerned about themselves then the nation they claim to love and care about, therefore, beneficial bills go unpassed because they wish to insure funds to pay their own salary while they allow others to suffer in the streets.
In a March 13, 2008 report, from a prior Thursday release, China released information from a Department of Agriculture Report showing that in the prior November in the United States 35.5 million people, including 12.63 million children, went hungry in 2006, up 390,000 from 2005. See People's Daily Online,at: http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90776/90883/6372433.html. Los Angeles, California has more than 73,000 homeless brothers and sisters, with 50,000 veterans living in the streets in California as a whole at a given time frame.
An estimated 750,000 people are homeless in the United States on any given day, living in shelters or on the streets. About one-quarter of these were children 17 or younger, and two percent were people 62 years old or older. See JoAnne Allen, Reuters, at: http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN2722298120070228.
Homeless is caused by many reasons, like lack of employment or underemployment; domestic violence, individuals being released back into society from prisons, substance abuse, evictions, mental illness, and more are just some causes of poverty. These homeless individuals live in various places, wherever they can acquire some shelter, like tents, sleeping bags, cardboard boxes in parks, vacant lots or on city sidewalks in doorways, to campsites near railroads, interstates, or rivers through improvised shelters referred to as 'Shanty Towns.' Public places like parks, bus and train stations, airports, hospitals, public transits and other localities are also places where homeles can be located. These places usually chase the homeless away through security or police to prevent loitering. Flophouses, maybe temporary lodging at a family's home, or even underground tunnels, derelict structures like abandoned or condemned buildings and even vehicles are living quarters for homeless. About 130,968 homeless living in shelters in a 2007 study had children. See Wikipedia: Homeless, at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness#United_States.
These people cannot acquire health care benefits, nor can they usually give proper documents like birth certificates or ID's for such health care. They lack any means to store these necessary documents and those that do manage usually get them destroyed by abuse from people upon them or even police officers. Without proper documentation they cannot obtain, in many cases, proper medical assistance, even though there are some free-care clinics in most larger cities. See Wikipedia: Homeless.
Most people in America acclaim to be religious and "serving God," allegedly. How can we serve our Creator when we leave our brothers and sisters to suffer. Like unto like is the manner of the Creator. If we give, we receive, if we cast off, we are cast off, if we do violence, violence returns back unto us, etc. To do unto others does not mean for self! It means to do to people as though you stood in those people's shoes. If you were them, what would you wish others to do for you? It is not our place to judge, for if you judge, you will be judged. If they lie, that is between them and their Creator. It will come back to them. It is what you do, --- that counts!
