I love this. I've always been under the misconception if I give money to the homeless it will end up in their arm somehow. While this may be the case some of the time, I think generally speaking nobody wants to stand outside in the 115-degree Arizona heat all day long. They want what many of us have - 3 square meals, a home, and running water.
This post hit me, as someone who travels alot to - I want to help others who aren't in a situation as fortunate. In the end, we are all humans just wanting to survive and many want to leave the world better than we left it. $5 to me might be small, but it could be the bus fare a person needs to get to their families or feed themselves to survive another day.
