If one isn't plagued by the extreme misfortune of truly being right at the bottom of the social ladder, there likely is some surplus that can be spared for the unfortunates all around. Perhaps a pack of sweets to enable a vagabond to have something special for one of the holidays. Or something small like a donation to the less fortunate. One doesn't have to sell one's house and all belongings and donate them to someone or someones just to be charitable.
Understandably, some street urchins are plain lazy or are potentially dangerous. Yet there are times that one may feel that they are lazy precisely because nobody is willing to give them a shot at life. If there's nothing to strive for, there's no real reason to strive. When one is convinced that the situation is hopeless, there's a chance that one simply stops trying.
