I took in my friend as she was homeless.

I would never make someone sleep in their car, I have been in that situation and wouldn't wish it on anyone! Good for you, taking in your friends. You don't have any spare room now but if you are ever in the same situation someone will make room for you.

you can help if they will accept help,just as long as they're not pigs that do not appreciate all that laid before them,so ya depending on the situation probably yes,even at my expense,as long as they would help keep house clean.

Yup....I would probably do the same! I don't think I could leave someone outside trying to fein for themselves with winter coming....and with no money.....good for you darling! You have a very big and good heart!

Me? I have taken in people that I barely know at all. Got burned a few times on that deal and am now much more selective. A friend? I think it would be impossible to say no to a friend in such a situation. The problem with where I am currently living is that it would be a risk because I am in low income housing and I could lose my apartment if I were to let people that are not on the lease live here. I could take in a friend for a couple of weeks but it would have to be under the understanding that they are seriously looking for another place. Also, I am barely getting by as it is. I need to think of my daughter. I could not afford to support anyone else at this time as it would take away from her & that would not be right.

I personally think you have done one of the nicest things anyone could ever do to help someone out. I commend you on your actions and I feel it will come back to you threefold. It's just plain wonderful, and I read your answers to some of the discussions and she sounds like a very lovely lady, just someone with big problems. I'm sure she is so very happy just to feel safe, secure, and warm. If she can't walk how does she support herself? You mentioned you have a craft room? Could she possibly make crafts and sell them? For some strange reason I think you were suppose to take her in, and you did. Maybe you'll find out the reason soon enough, or maybe later on, but you will figure it out eventually. It was meant to be. Big Hugs to you...xxx

Been there, did that. Had 1 really good experience & one really bad one. One was a friend plus 2 dogs- that was great & the other was an inlaw- That was a HUGE mistake- he stole from me- So friend- YES! Family, not so much...

Personally for me, it would really depend on who they were, and the situation involved as well. If they were homeless thru no fault of their own, and I knew they were someone I could have around and Trust them, then I would say go for it, but how do you really know what is best for sure? I hear so many Horror stories sometimes I guess I would have to Pray about it first, unless it is short term temporary and then decide from there. Wishing you the Best.

That is kind of you. I did not have to take home any homeless friend. All of them have homes or are living in a rented flat.

That's a nice thing to do. She's sixty so I guess it's okay for you to take care of her. Especially she only sleep in her van and she is sick. I may not be as nice as you. I can help a friend but not a couple of friends. But that won't be for long. I don't know, maybe I am selfish but I have my own responsibility. God, I am selfish! How did she end up staying in her van?

Yeah but on condition that it won't be a permanent stay. Maybe a maximum of six months
