Background Nobody likes to spend their life as homeless by their will, it happens unwillingly. At one point of my life (early child hood), I was home less including my family. Our condition got better as time goes. Now, I am proud to say that I am a proud citizen of dream land, The United States. Who would have thought a family spending their nights in the street and river bank of Nepal will come to America and live their dream life? A homeless of today can be a great personality in future if there is enough helping hands to solve the current problem, and our community people are the true examples. Today, some are doctors, engineers, nurses etc. from the same homeless community back in 1990. I believe, the world is round, it rotates, and the …show more content…

This thoughts and determination always pushes me forward to help children, elderly, and young adult looking for food to eat and clothes to cover their naked body. “Help those who need your help; they will make you proud later”. This is not only my mission statement but also reality of my life. Every day whether I am in a gas station or before stepping into the train there will be at least 4 to 5 people who are looking really tired and with hungry faces approaches to me begging for food and money. Their clothes, body language, face, and the way they approach to me touches my heart. Their situation remains my childhood. I always think, if UNHCR would not lend their helping hand to help me, my family, and the whole community, I would not be here in this country as a Register Nurse taking care these elderly and sick people. Who knows? The same people that I am taking care of now might gave donation to UNHCR to make me as well as my family survive till …show more content…

We will organize a community program and concerts, which will help us to spread our words as well as make some contribution to our campaign. We will also approach to several nearby churches and temples, and ask the pasture and priest to talk about our campaign and encourage people to get involve in our mission. We will post the campaign posters and our mission in our individual Facebook wallpaper and ask other supporters to do so. I will also contact community people, who have their own business and ask is they have any job opportunity. Some people become homeless when they lost the job and have difficult to find another. So, I will also put my effort to find the appropriate job through the community involvement for those who are able and eligible to

    Have you ever thought about the possibilities of becoming homeless? I think about that almost every day; I try to comprehend and picture in my head the life as someone that lives on or off the streets of New York. New York isn’t one of the cleanest places in the United States, but it sure has one of the highest percentage rates in the U.S. for homeless people. In the 21st century, people raised in the U.S. are not taught about the struggles of homelessness and what they have to go through to survive; most people don’t plan on becoming homeless and became homeless due to the fluctuation in the market and various other problems. Also not only the homeless, but people in depth (people struggling to pay bills or drug addicts) and other people suffering also has to survive.

  • Thesis Statement For Homeless Essay

    529 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I think of homeless people, I give into the stereotype of these individuals as being lazy, having mental issues and usually holding up boxboard signs begging for money. Although these traits might be true, it’s easy to say “why not just get a job”, but there are so many different factors that contribute to this issue. Facing problems with transportation, having clean clothes for that workday, mental and physical health and many more attributions. This problem is important in today’s society because instead of giving the homeless a temporary fix such as giving them money or food, help them find a good homeless shelter or affordable housing. Teach them about budgeting which can go along with finding a career path so they can get out of the system.

  • Personal Narrative: Homelessness Of Homeless People

    I heard a blood-curdling scream and I jumped. I felt silent tears running down my heavily scarred face, but they weren’t out of sadness. Mostly. They were a mixture of pain and fear. I ran into the eerie, blood-splattered room and screamed as I felt cold fingers grab my neck. Before that night, I didn’t believe in the paranormal. Now I sure as heck do. I had been chased out of my house after a fight with my step-parents because I wasn’t doing well in school (I had dyslexia), and I had taken shelter in what seemed like a normal house. I realized what I had gotten into after the sun set. The doors locked without a sign of anyone going near them. A cold draft filled the room I was in. The house turned into a horrific scene, and I knew I would never get out alive. It was the Asylum. There’s a rumor in our town, a rumor that started when someone made the observation that everyone fit in. No one was considered strange, homeless, an outsider. That doesn’t seem possible, you think. In my town, there are tons of people with no homes, or people that don’t belong, you think. Well, think again. Those homeless people? Think about how many there are. They fit in with each other. Those people that don’t belong? Once again, they fit in with each other. But then, you

    As technology advances and more countries join the developed world, we here in America have a forgotten population. Here in America, a land of great wealth and opportunity, we have a neglected homeless population.

    After watching the video “Sociological Perspective Project: Homelessness,” and read the article “Community Level Characteristics Associated with Variation in Rates of Homelessness among Families and Single Adults I started to think about this more and started to read more on the topic and have I concluded , America could support its citizens better than it currently does by eliminating the progressive tax system, in which as wealth increases so does their income tax and implement tax incentives to encourage job creation. Loop holes should be eliminated in such systems as taxes, as well as welfare in order to prevent people from playing the system. The system should not be set up in such a way that filing for unemployment can be and often times is more profitable that holding a minimum wage job, which defeats the entire purpose of the welfare system. By adding these tax incentives to big business, it would encourage them to create new jobs, decreasing the number of people on welfare. While welfare should not be entirely disbanded, it should be made more restrictive and it, along...

    I always see a homeless person. Whether on the streets, an alley or even the subway. You’ll always see one every time you visit. I get to help one homeless person one time while I was staying in the city for 3 days. It was 12:30 am and I was about to head back to the hotel, but I was thirsty, so I went to a convenience store near, when I saw a girl sitting outside a convenience store. She looks young, probably a young adult. I was thinking, maybe that girl hadn’t eaten anything, and if maybe I could grab her some food. I went inside the store, the only thing I need to buy is a bottle of water, but I ended up buying sandwiches, fruits and a two bottles of water. I took 1 bottle of water out and give the rest of the bag to her. She was smiling and said “thank you”. My response is “you’re welcome” and smiled back. Helping the homeless is one of the little things that makes me happy. It might a small thing for me, but if I put it on their perspective, it is something very
