I became my father, Mom used to tease him about picking up strays, he would meet people where they were, give them shelter, a job, whatever they needed. I watched more than one rip him off and disappear. When I asked him why he keep trying when so many didn't want help, he told me because some do. I am not him; I help some and turn away some. I find out if they ask for money and you offer them money to move logs, clean a barn of something else hard, most leave and don't come back. One thing I do if they accept and do the work is call around and try to find them permanent work.
