Positive Implications Of Donations For Homeless Baltimore

By Virginia Miller


Homelessness is a major challenge in many parts of the world today. With more people losing their homes and opting to live on the streets and designated places for the homeless in strategic places in a town. Loss of shelter can be brought by the inability to pay a mortgage and acquired loans where the property was used as security in securing the loan, the death of a breadwinner in the family and some cases of addiction to drugs. People without homes become depressed and often results to drugs for consolation. Below are some of the reasons regarding the importance of donations for homeless Baltimore individuals.

Lowering numbers of homeless families currently in the streets. Bad decisions and hard economic times have led to these people reliance on the streets for food, water, clothing, and shelter. However, some of them just need little financial assistance, rehabilitation and counseling to leave the streets and become productive. The donation given aid in funding programs that will lead to their reintegration into the community.

To ease their access to clean, safe water and healthy nutritious meals. Water and food must be paid for before it is made available for use by the relevant authorities. Water is essentials for drinking, bathing and cooking food. Like it has been said time and time again, water is life. Revenue donations are used to buy and clear water bills so that its availability is maintained.

To facilitate access to medical services and curative medicines. It is almost impossible to live day after day on the street where one is exposed to unhygienic poor conditions without falling sick. However, the cost of medical services is relatively expensive. These individuals lack capital, revenue and the means to seek medical attention whenever they experience symptoms and signs of diseases.

Demonstration of love and compassion to suffering community members. Poverty is a deadly vice in a community. It disunites the rich and the poor and also those who have and those that do not. Poverty is not a choice or a sign of laziness, and it is a situation that can occur to anybody regardless of their efforts in life. Helping a poor person shows understanding, compassion, and kindness is vital.

It is the right thing to do. At one time in life, homeless persons had shelters and places of residence that they called home. They lived a normal life just like that led by people with desirable houses. One must understand that what happened to them is out of their control and that it can happen to anyone at any time and there is nothing they can do about it.

For the provision of clothing to keep the warmth. Clothing is among the necessities of life. They help to protect the body against exposure to cold and chances of acquiring diseases that come as a result of cold conditions. Therefore, donations in monitory terms or clothing will provide clothes to put on during cold nights and days at their disposal.

Provision of better living conditions and enhancement of their self-image, perception, and worthiness is essential in the city Baltimore Maryland. Limitations in funds may be insufficient in removing people with no places to live in from the streets. However, the small contributions given out will help to make their quality of life better by ensuring they can acquire small items that are necessary for life survival.
