To have tried to help a homeless man?

[darkcandlelight]

Went to Manchester for the Christmas markets and we stayed over last night. There was a homeless man sleeping by our hotel and I was really concerned about him. This morning my 11 yo was worried he wasn't moving so we went to get dh up to ask him (he has a medical background) and took him a cup of tea. Dh is really annoyed with me, he says it was irresponsible.

So was I being unreasonable? I really thought the man had died at one point.

16 of the 28 people currently in the night-shelter I run have jobs. Two of them are full time care assistants. They look after our most vulnerable in society and at night they sleep on the floor of a church hall.

That is so true, many rough sleepers have jobs.

This is shameful.

No you were teaching DC social responsibility and compassion. You weren't exactly going to use her as a human shield, were you.
Unless DH is just concerned that you may have led her to a dead body, in which case I can understand that particular concern.

Hello, just to say thank you for link to Streets of London song, gave me shivers, Annie Lennox's voice is stunning. Watching the video made me want to donate, so I did, didn't take long, used PayPal wish I could have given more but have signed up for newsletters and will inform myself how I can help. I live near Brighton and there is a large population of homeless people.

YANBU for wanting to help and I think this thread has potential to get other posters to help too.

Thank you - please pass the link on to your friends, just today and tomorrow to go before the Christmas number one is decided....
