[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 743151, member: 22877"] On a similar note to yours, I have been wondering what to do for my own son this Christmas. He doesn't have a car and is often broke so can't even come up with the money for bus fare. I think someone on this forum suggested I put Uber credits on his app, and I think I will either do that or buy him a 31 day bus pass. I will definitely not give him cash because he would likely fritter it away on lord knows what and the have nothing to show for it. I think your tent gift was an excellent idea. You're helping him, but helping him where he is. You're adding a little comfort to the life he's chosen rather than bailing him out of it. Prayers for you and your son and your family during the holiday season and always. PS I don't know about your area, or even my own, but when my sister lived in Northern Virginia and there was a freeze warning, her church would ride around in minivans looking for homeless people and offer them rides back to the church where an emergency shelter was in place. Hopefully there is something like that where you are to help your son get off the streets for a few nights. God bless. [/QUOTE]
