A Sad Sight

Today driving home from work, on the side of 520 near 95, there was a dilapidated van with its windows punched out and shit piled up to the ceiling. Laying on the dash in the front window there was a large cut out of a card board box. Written on the box it said "Homeless Family. Please help".

And what I found sad was not the idea that there were children living there or the simple fact that there are people going with out. But what really saddened me was the first thing that came to mind. "If I would actually believe that my help would be used properly, I would want the police to escort me to their home to give them whatever it was I thought useful for thier situation".

It may sound weird but I have never seen anything like that before.
