It’s almost there.

You’re on the train. A person addresses the car.

“I’m homeless. If anyone has a dollar or two, I just want to get something to eat. Please help. God Bless.”

I can never bring myself to hand over money because in my heart of hearts, I do not believe that money will be used for the reasons stated. This doesn’t however eliminate my responsibility to help.

I’ve struggled with this feeling for a long time. ServiceWeb is my attempt to leveraging actual resources used by social workers on a daily basis and their unique perspective to help eradicate the need to help people in need.

If you care about the immediacy of a fellow person’s situation, you can look up nearby resources quickly and share them without texting and thereby divulging your own cell number and without simply handing over money. You can provide help in a real and meaningful way, by sharing professionally submitted and vetted resources.
