OK, so their is a gentleman who has lived in our area for maybe the past 2 years or so. He is an extremely private man, doesn't speed to anyone locally. I have noticed that he owns barely anything...he sleeps on a mattress on the floor , he seems to have no other furniture (his door was open when I walked passed!)does his washing in a bucket outside, the other day he was wearing 2 odd shoes, shorts on the cold weather, that type of thing. My husband and I desperately want to help him, but we really have no idea how to approach him. We were thinking of leaving a hamper of food/ clothing at his door when he was out, anonymously, but the thing is, we know so little about him, and he seems happy enough going about his business. I'm worried that he may be offended. AIBU to be more concerned about hurting his pride rather than offering help? My gut is telling me to reach out to him. I've no idea what to do. What would you do?
