What would you do if a scraggly homeless person knocked on your door, and all he asked was for a sandwich, a bottle of water, a bath, and perhaps a beard trim? (lemmy.world)

I've actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.

What would you do?

I hope the fella is doing okay these days. Thank you on his/her behalf for helping them in a brief time of need. Even if that's all you could do, at least it's something.

People like you help me restore a few points in faith in humanity. 👍
