Hotspot for the homeless is an excellent idea. It not only
benefits the homeless, but also shines a light on a major issue. Specifically,
in Memphis, it is normal to see homeless people sleeping and walking on the
street, but that should not be the case. They hold signs asking for work, help,
food, and money because they have no resources. Some homeless people even have
children that are forced to endure such harsh circumstances.
Personally, I am thankful that I don’t have to worry about living
through the terrible conditions that homeless people do. No matter what anyone
says or thinks, the homeless are in need of serious help. I think because most don’t
consider how a homeless person truly feels, we overlook these people. For
example, these people are left to sleep on the dangerous streets during all
weather conditions while we sleep comfortably in our beds. We automatically
think that if they want help, they will go to a homeless shelter, yet we don’t think
about how fast homeless shelters fill up so some homeless people have nowhere
to go.
As a solution, Hotspots would help relieve some of the
problems that homeless people face. They will provide warmth in the winter
seasons. This would also aid in eliminating the various illnesses faced by
homeless people. Lastly, there is no need for staff supervision, only normal regulation.
Therefore, they are not expensive like a shelter.
