Hello unhoused, formerly unhoused, or otherwise knowledgeable people,
So the situation is this: There's a woman in my gym parking lot who is living in her car. I'm basing this assumption on a few things. First, the car. All the windows are blocked by black garbage bags, which I believe is to keep the inside cooler/warmer. The car also rarely leaves a specific parking spot. I go to the gym 6-7 times a week, at random times of the day. I've been going regularly for about a year. I personally have only seen the car not parked anywhere in the parking lot 2-3 times. Additionally, the car is never turned on.
The woman has a dog, which lives in the back of the car, and I've seen her in the grassy lot beside the gym, walking the dog. She wears primarily the same clothes; a red winter coat, black yoga pants, black slippers, and a black shirt. She looks to be 40-50 years old, but I am kind of notorious for being shit at guessing people's ages, so take that with a grain of salt.
So my question is this: what can I do to help her? I've been wanting to approach her for a while now (2-3 months), but I'm worried about offending her/not knowing what to ask or say. What can I offer her that is helpful and considerate? My ideas are 1) A care package, with things like hygiene supplies, first aid kits, clothing, cash/gift cards, dog food/treats, etc. 2) Safety items such as Narcan, clean needles, first aid, etc. 3) Straight up cash 4) Buy a meal or food, according to her preference. 5) I could also give her marijuana for free, from my personal dealer, who I've been buying from for over a year. 100% open to other ideas, provided I'm able to fulfill them!
Please let me know what you all think! I'm very invested in trying to help this woman out, but my social anxiety and neurodivergency is preventing me from improvising without the input of others. Thank you in advance!

so i did some calculations. the us sent israel $100 billion, right? well…
Tumblr media
if they used that money to try and fix the homeless problem in california alone, this is how much money it would come out to for each homeless person. that is enough to buy a full ass house. now how about if we calculated it by the number of homeless people in all of america?
Tumblr media
this is how much money it would come out to for each homeless person in the entire country. i’ve done a lot of research, and this is enough to buy a good starter home in most states other than california. you could even potentially buy a multi-family home and use the other unit(s) for income. in peoria, illinois, a decent 2 bedroom house costs around 50-60k. you could potentially buy THREE full ass houses with this kind of money. now what if you didn’t want to buy a house, what if you opted to just rent?
Tumblr media
if we divided that number by the highest average rent in america for a studio apartment, $1650 (which is insane btw. i’d say the average rent in america for a studio is more like $700-$900 in places other than these huge metro areas), you could live rent free for 105 months. that’s almost 9 years. our government is choosing to fund a genocide, actively being on the wrong side of history, instead of fixing one of the most prominent current crises in their own country. and a lot of people don’t see anything wrong with that?

The estimated Homeless population in the United States for 2022 was 582'000 people.
582,000 people!!! In the richest country in the history of the human race!

And yet, Biden and Democrats will do absolutely NOTHING about it. They have done nothing, and will do nothing. They'll barely even acknowledge the problem.
Don't support these two Capitalist, corrupt Parties.

Terrace Batman visits homelessness encampment under bridge near Terrace BC, Thornhill BC
Tumblr media
I was asked to visit a location underneath a local bridge while I was out on patrol. I found this homeless encampment, and a young woman sleeping on top of a garbage pile. I helped transport her to a local shelter, then helped with some cleanup. I'll be following up in this issue.

This is a long post:
The way people treat homeless people literally makes me sick. A guy came in to my work today and asked for some food. Unfortunately, I cant give away free meals. But! I did give him a drink, and some of the sides that we always have leftover at the end of the night anyways, and some cookies, and utensils to eat it with. He sat in our waiting area, eating and then fell asleep. He was taking up one chair- not bothering anyone. We were slow anyways. I let him stay there for a few hours. I gave him a meal that the kitchen had messed up and did ask him to leave when it was close to our closing time, and he thanked me for the food. He took his stuff with him and left the area he occupied clean. He had gotten a few looks from other patrons coming in, mostly of pity. But my coworkers spent the whole night turning their nose up at him, telling me I shouldn't let him sit there. It looks bad for business. I am 'being too nice' and should use my authority as a manager to kick him out. Just being absolutely vile, in my opinion, to look at homeless people like they're unworthy of taking up space. And thats what it is- the disdain and disgust because these people don't have privelage of clean water, clean clothes, shelter, food, basic things that we take for granted. How dare you. How dare you treat people like that and view them as 'less than', what because they have less??? Make it make sense. I have always believed in the treat others how you want to be treated mindset. I used to 'take up space' longer than necessary, loiter, whatever you want to call it, when I had to commute on the bus for 2 hours to and from my first job at stupid hours of the day, that put me in another city long before my job started. So I had to essentially find places- spaces- to occupy, and yes. Sometimes I purchased items from like Starbucks or wherever I ended up, but other times I would just ask for water and sit at an empty table for hours til I needed to go into my work. Nobody bothered me. You know why? Because I was showered. I was in my work uniform. I looked like a passing member of society. Because I had money to blow on a frappucino. Or whatever fucking reason yall wanna give to see a difference between 'someone like me' taking up space and a homeless person taking up space. Stop vilifying homeless people for taking up space! Unless someone is an active danger to you and the people around you, and you have a valid reason for them to leave the premises, stop. And trust me when I say I have had more negative interactions, felt less safe with actual paying customers than homeless people in my place of work... Think about how you would want to be treated if you were in their position! Its not that hard to allow people to 'take up space' just simply because they exist! If you are offended by someone who has less than you just existing in the same space as you, you should really work on yourself. People are people.

Please consider making up little kits to give out to the homeless
Especially with it being winter
- socks, underwear
- a water bottle
- maybe a first aid kit
- snacks like granola bars
- toiletries
- lip balm, lotion (for dry skin)
- hat, gloves
- nail clippers, comb,  deodorant, etc
 Stuff like that!

You may or may not know what blessing bags are, blessing bags are bags that you keep in your car, home, etc, and can easily be given to anyone who might need the things inside. They include hygiene products (deodorant wipes, mini toothbrushes and toothpaste, and wet wipes) they also include socks, mints, snacks, and water. They are $6 dollars and if you buy one I will donate 16% percent of the money you spend to donate to a homeless shelter!
