This is why we should help people on the streets

Home feels like home because my home has lots of blankets, pillows, beds, it also has a kitchen, bathroom and living room. I also have two cars in my driveway and two cats. There's some people out there that don't have a home, and they have to sleep in these small tents or even local benches with not alot of resources. And that causes a lot of pollution. For example it's hard to find the money for food, water, pillows, blankets, and shelter. I think that the government should build more shelters for people that don't have a home and jump start their future. It's hard to get a job when you are super dirty and you don’t have too much money with you. I think if we see anybody on the streets we should give them at least 2 dollars to help them. Lots of people are on the street because they are properly addicted to something like drugs, smoking and alcohol. But if they gather their money and don't spend on those stupid stuff they maybe would have a job in a couple of years. They also can become homeless by not having family members to support them.
