Me I would choose to help the Elderly. I don't know but everytime I see very old people who are still working so hard like street vendors, I always feel like if only I have enough money to buy all their stuffs so they can go home, I would.
I think that's why my heart is always with the elderly is because I had been so close with my late grandmother when I was young.

I think I would help homeless children because many times it is not their fault they are homeless. I would love to be able to take a child off the streets and give them more hope for the future... give them a second chance

You have a good heart. I am already an elderly and I would help not only the elderlies and children but also others. I am an Incorporator of the Alpha Omega Seniars Intl Foundation, Inc. for senior citizenz, widows, orphans, disabled, poor intellectuals, etc. and we hope to help others as soon as we are capable.

I would definetely take care of the elderly.Children need care only in financially ,as after a certain period they can become independent.But elders though finacially strong need care as physically they are weak and need help and support.My choice is for elders.

this is tough for me. hmmm... i guess i'll divide the help to both. i feel for homeless children the same way i feel for the elderly. so i just can't make a choice but help both. it's very possible anyway, better too :)

well i dont know which of the two i will help. it actually depens on the situation. even you cannot predict that you will always help the elderly. it is ones feeling of pity and sympathy which makes us help others. and this feeling is not limited to a section of people. it depends on situations.

It's very hard to decide but I think I will judge by the case i see in front of me and who is handling his situation better may not be in great need for help. i also have a weak spot for old people but children should never be homeless and they need more help from the society than just people handing them money, most often money doesn't help them to get a better life at all. it's just too sad when you feel that nothing you can do is helping :(

obviously, homeless children... the elders however know the world, how good or bad it is.. basically the children won't know any of these good or bad in the world,it's not their right or wrong as now they are in the streets, it's only their parents who are responsible for their current situation, so try to help as much as children who are in the streets.....
