"Possibly his biggest single donation was $5,000 to a family of six who had been in the shelter for several days. Louis Quezada, Tessa Wittner and their four children had been living with Quezada's parents but were thrown out after an argument."

I wouldn't have done that if I were a billionaire. They had a place to stay with family, but ended up bringing their kids to a homeless shelter because they couldn't get along? I suspect that the money will not be used wisely, due to the demonstrated immaturity. I hope I'm wrong.

I dunno. Unlike federal welfare, it's his money, not somebody else's. And we don't know whose fault the quarrel with the parents was. If this young couple are serious maybe they can pull it together.

Once my cousin gave some money to a friend of mine and I told him the same thing. His response was that he knew the intent of his heart in giving the money and that was what was most important to him.

As a crowd gathered around the anonymous donor, he told residents he had once been in a similar situation

I thought the liberal mantra was the homeless were a permanent underclass.
