Fearlessness in the Big City.
| | Description |
While I was in Chicago today, I was walking to Ed Debevic's (not a good place to eat, unless you like overpriced food and really bad (and not in the good bad way) service) and I saw a woman on the street. As a small town boy I don't see this often. To me, seeing homeless people is kinda a shock, in my town (of Janesville, WI) you don't see the homeless out too often, and when you do, they often do not beg. To me this image captures more than a woman struggling to make ends meet. A young Muslim woman on the streets begging. It isn't easy for many Muslims here in America, and it takes a lot of courage to show your faith and beliefs, and it takes even more courage to shamefully beg for money on the streets. It really saddens me to see that that is how some people have to live.
I intend on making another trip up there over the summer and doing whatever I can to help these people. If I had more time, I would have loved to have stopped and chatted with some of these people (the journalistic side of me kicks in when I see things like that  ) but remember, if you see anyone like this on the street, you don't have to open your wallet up to them, but maybe just say hi to them, make them realise that they aren't being ignored. Talk to them, show them that someone sees them, and if you can, give to the needy!
That about sums up my rant haha. Please critique, and leave feedback!
