I've recently revised my approach to the poor a little bit.
Instead of all my charity going through organizations, I bought a batch of $25 subway gift cards from Amazon to give out when I see people on the street who need it.
This weekend I had the cool opportunity to help a couple of guys from another country in a broken down car fix it, and got to know them for a few hours working on the car together.
Sometimes when I glimpse the potential or evidence of talent and a different past in people on the street, like the guy in this video, I am reminded that not much separates me from a situation like that. I hope to treat people how I might want to be treated if that ever happened.
