"This is Charrolette and Ken. They're a homeless couple we met while doing some charity work at a Seattle tent city. In talking, we found out they had an anniversary coming up. Sadly in 14 years of marriage, they've never had a proper celebration. So we got some money together and changed that. First thing we did was buy Ken a new suit, and Charrolette a new dress. My girlfriend did her makeup and hair. They loved it."

So, you spent what, a couple of grand on them? And did fucking NOTHING to improve their lives and get them off the street?

What did you do Patrick? Ever?
That couple had an aniversary what they will always remember, a positive attitude what will help them get along better with their difficulties. For them, that day was worth.

What did I do, ever? 14 years working with the homeless on the streets in NYC. Helping them get housing, food, clothing, healthcare, jobs. In short, helping them get off the streets, not for a night in a fancy hotel, but for LIFE.
What did you ever do 201, besides coo like a little girl over the feel good pictures and ignore the fact that the next day their lives were no better than the day before?

Yea, I'm sure that Charrolette will fondly remember that night as she's blowing some guy in an alley so that she and Ken can get permission to dig through his dumpster for dinner...
