I appreciate your concern, but there are many noble souls trying to meet the needs of the homeless. My daughter-in-law is one of them. Every day she goes to our local exhibition centre where our city has arranged for the homeless to drop in, have their health checked, and to be put in touch with social services. She is also continuing to find homes for some of them. It is an ongoing struggle and those workers do it for very little pay, every day, before, during, and after COVID-19.

Thank you for reading my piece and for continuing the very important conversation of helping those who are most vulnerable and in need. People like your daughter-in-law are great examples of what can and should be done in every city in the world. I hope that you and yours stay safe and healthy.
