We don't need to be rich to show someone wecare though.
We could acknowledge them with a wave or a
smile.We can wish them luck or stop back by with a
soda or RM 5 bag of food.
The next time we see someone asking for our
help, the important thing is that we act on that
feeling of compassion in our heart, rather than
on those instincts of fear or assumptions of
addiction.

Homeless people suffering
from mental illness
They should not ignore any of their family
members, should have responsibility on
their family members, give them moral
support

Approximately 20 - 25% of the single adult homeless
population suffers from some form of severe and persistent
mental illness
(National Resource and Training Centre on
Homelessness and Mental Illness, 2003).
Homeless people with mental disordersremain homeless for longer periods of time
and have less contact with family and
friends.

Depression is sometimes a result of drug or
alcohol abuse that remained untreated. Bipolar
disorder causes people to experience extreme
highs (mania) or deep lows (depression).If left untreated, these mood swings become even
more erratic and severe.
This is one reason many mentally ill homelesspeople remain untreated and on the streets.
Without treatment, these people become even
more isolated from society. Therefore, family
members should play an important role in this
matter. They should always keep an eye on them.
These people should undergo treatments to get
cure.

The people suffering from mental illness should
get cured so that we will have more people
contributing to our nation. Hence, increases the
country's economy and therefore our country
will be one of the most productive country
among the other nations.

Running away from home is often not something that is
planned. Deciding to run is a decision made on the spur of
the moment, and you might not be prepared, with no
money, no warm clothes, no phone numbers, or any idea
about where you might seek help.Running away from care:
You are in a stressful situation, like after the death of
someone you loved.
These children are not meant to be in the streets, their
rights as children need to be preserved. These children
deserve better than this. They are the future leaders.

In order to help the homeless people, generating
money/income via taxes is one way. Goods and Services
Tax (GST) could help widen the governments tax base and
provide funds for the poor now reeling from a global rise
in commodity prices.
We as an individual be responsible to pay our taxes sothat the government have sufficient money to lend a hand
to the homeless people. For example, can start one
Malaysia trust fund for the homeless

Government should consider that old buildings without
any use can develop into a shelter as there are quite
numbers of old buildings in our country / religious places
as a shelter ( mosque,temples,churches)
Many places are limited in size and may enforce a first
come, first served policy for issuing beds to the homeless.Government may allocate funds to build shelters or low-
cost houses. The shelters may consist of big, private
rooms with many beds in one large room. The
government could liase with the NGO to sponsor food,clothes, money for their daily life. They could even
sponsor education for the children and provide job
opportunities to them

When there are more shelters are develop,
homeless people especially hidden homeless will
emerge and they will have a place to stay. The
numbers of homeless people can be reduced. The
homeless become more spiritual and possess good
habits especially children when there are in
religious places.
