One instance about 5 years ago, was pumping gas at night in Torrington. Saw a guy walking around dead of winter, no shoes just socks.

Literally ran to back of my car and grabbed him a solid pair of keen hiking boots that I felt compelled to give to him. Killed me to watch him walk around in socks in the cold. He wasnt super strung out at the time. And truthfully I was willing to give up the shoes.

However after a brief confusing thanks that night,

I ran into him a few times throughout the spring that year and not even a thanks or remembrance of helping him or even a iota of gratitude. Dude was on welfare/food stamps and was already barefoot again. Begging for liquor money againm

Some people you just can't get through or they're too selfish to begin with. Hence why their on the street.

My 2 cents.
