    The liquor store around the corner would send you a thank you letter.

    I fear it would help the person out only in the short term.

    They'd be able to have food, clothes, bling-bling, and whatever for a few weeks or even a month, but after the money is gone they might end up right where they started.

    Unfortunately money can't cure whatever is causing someone to be homeless in the first place (unless it's simply a matter of being in debt, in which case yeah it might help them pay their mortgage or whatever and get them off the streets!).

    call me Kat

    Until she passed away, there was an old Native American woman who lived in Reno. She had thousands of dollars in the bank, and owned a home. She chose to live on the streets and sleep in alleys, and drink so much she would sit at a slot machine and wet her pants instead of leaving the machine to go to the bathroom. so I doubt it would do a homeless person much good unless you also gave them a home and rehabbed them. I read an article in the local paper about a woman that was given a home and drug/alcohol and job rehab. I don't know how she's doing, but I hope she makes it.
