I felt so bad about this guy sleeping under this overpass. it was very cold and pouring rain out. i rushed to the nearest Target to buy a new blanket and pillow and drove right back to him. i offered it to him and he said 'no thanks' i was like 'you sure man? its cold out.' and he still refused. i told him to try and stay warm and drove off. im very baffled by it. maybe i should have left it near him anyways. why do homeless people refuse help or gifts like this sometimes? what do you think?

Because they want money to purchase things to support whatever habit they have.

Some won't take charity. Many have trust issues or a mental illness.

Perhaps he loves by the Radley Philosophy. “Dont take what you can’t pay back”.

I tried to give a homeless man a brand new soft blanket and pillow and he refused. any ideas why a homeless person might refuse this? (Page 2)
