Homeless Shelter Built By ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ Shuts Down After Vagrants Take Advantage Of Charity: Report​

In 2008, “Extreme Makeover” transformed the lives of the Martinez family in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by building them a massive house, as well as a huge homeless shelter to help their mission started by the family’s patriarch, Gerald. Gerald died in 2012 from cancer, but his wife Liesa recently told local media that even before he became sick, he had thoughts about shutting down his charity’s doors due to the behavior of some of the homeless people.

“Some of the people that we helped the most were the ones that became the most vicious,” Liesa, whose last name is now Reece, told a local ABC affiliate in the city. “They became entitled that we owed them something.”

Imagine that!!!

It’s in every national park “Please don’t feed the animals”. It’s there for a reason, the animals get used to it and get ornery when they don’t get it.

Visit any public housing that is more than 5 years old.

This comment sums it up and I have nothing to add.

I have seen this in my own family. The one that gets the help ends up being mobility crippled and fails to make it to the next rung in life. At some point the life training wheels need to come off.
