I've started this photo project that I've been interested in since moving here that I'm trying to raise money for. If you can't donate I would appreciate it if you could pass it on to anyone that might be interested. Or even a facebook/twitter post to get the word out would help tremendously.
Thanks everyone for your help.

I have seen stories and studies on homeless people like this, and yeah it seems a lot of them chose it. They simply don't want a home and a job and bills, etc. I admit there is a certain appeal to being completely "disconnected". Which is why during these stories you'd see them being offered jobs or places to stay but they refuse because that's the reason they're out there.

cmac I must admit, while I commend you for making this a "project", I think it's downright pathetic that you're taking donations to do it. You have a college degree and a full time job. You talk about some of them making six figures and then have the gall to ask others for money to give to them? Come on. I find it hard to beleive that you're not going to profit from it when you're charging $30 for your signature.

I will never give a homeless person a cent. I have offered them food before and on multiple occasions had it thrown back in my face. I will definitely not offer it again.

Sorta off topic, but this brings up another thing that's pissed me off lately. I have been seeing these high school kids out trying to raise money for whatever it is they're doing, taking a trip somewhere or whatever. But it seems nowadays instead of having a car wash or bake sale or doing some kind of productive work, they just stand out on the medians at the stop lights with a bucket and cutesy little posters asking for money. This kinda crap needs to stop. What in the world is that teaching them?
