 way to help them is financial support. In my opinion, bringing them
money
 is a good thing, but it is not the only thing that makes them smile.
First
 of all, let's talk about
money
. When we give them
money
, it allows them to feed themselves and survive. But food alone is not enough for a
person
 to develop. A
person
 needs
education
, and resources other than
money
 to develop. A homeless

 who has a child, that child needs

 to hope to have a better life than his parents.
Thus
,
money
 does not solve all the problems of a homeless
person
.
Moreover
, giving a homeless
person
 a regular sum of
money
 does not push him or her to earn
money
 on their own. The best idea, I believe, to help a homeless
person
 is to provide them with resources other than
money
.
For instance
, the state could help the homeless by offering them training, certification or
education
.
In addition
, offering accommodation or additional support would increase the incentive for homeless people to learn. In my
