Granny always told me "Taysha, you are a GIVER and GIVERS have to set limits because TAKERS never do". It's so hard because the joy I get out of giving and being of service to others goes so much further than anything else I've experienced in life. Limits. Definitely need to set limits, as we can see here with poor Rahat. Another thing Granny used to say (which I believe is in the Bible?) "The WICKED will NEVER prosper from ill-gotten gain". I've seen the truth of that statement play out so many times.

That's the point of this case though. I'm sure Eric had the same feeling when he received that support. But because he was given the huge amount money without having to work for it, he felt it would be an ongoing thing and deemed the low paying job worthless compared to the amount he's getting through donations. He abused it and started to want more money to feed his addiction, and when he wasn't getting more he turned to bite the hand that fed him.

I have been late on rent many times, even went $2500 into debt with a friend at one point, but I promised to pay him back, and I did. Today I own a house and use most of my savings to renovate it.

Rahat you are an awesome human being. Reaching out to change lives takes a pretty special kind of person. Tragically there are so many con artists out there. He and his cronies certainly proved that they deserve to be destitute and homeless. I really hope you can come back from this and be a lot more assertive. Perhaps next time, you can set a goal and when that target has been reached, your followers know that the balance would be used to assist somebody else, and so on. This really became a nightmare for you. There are so many hard earned lessons here. You have the friends, the documentation, and more than enough witnesses to be more credible than the lost cause you tried to help. As for Raz or whatever his name is, he used a biased and uncorroborated interview to up his subscribers and income.

The thing is, Rahat gave him too much. He started with a house. This is crazy. Should have started with a small apartment. Should have the homeless choose the furniture. Help to carry the furniture into the small apartment. Like all normal people start their life when they start a job. Then the homeless could have worked his way up being supported by the money. Little by little he could have grown into a person that is able to run a house and a job. Rahat wasted the fundraiser on just one guy who was not ready for this amount of money. Should have founded a common house for a group of homeless guys. Maybe one or two of the group would have made it to a job.

[@DaesyaP]

This is why the average citizen has no business simply “helping” the homeless to this degree. A lot of us oversimplify the problem of homelessness and think “oh if only I could give them a house, car, and job- their life would be perfect.” Not taking into account the added complexities of a life spent on the street such as substance abuse issues. He had great intentions but none of the expertise to back such expectations. He was out of his depth and really should have outsourced this to those who had more experience. It’s unfortunate that it was such an extreme way to learn a lesson.

[@NicciStarzz]

Exactly, very well said! As a former homeless person, I had many issues beyond not having a home. I had to deal with my substance abuse and trauma and mental health before I was able to actually hold a job, go to college, etc. Now, I will have my Master's in Psychology in June and currently have my CADC, an AA in Sociology, and an AA in Human Services. While having someone help me like Rahat helped Eric MAY have fixed things for me for awhile, I inevitably would have ran through the money because of my addiction and ended up on the streets again. Without the skills to stay sober and keep the house and job, just being given a house or job means very little beyond a temporary fix

[@I_am_Musiq94]

Yes. 100% agree. His first step should have been to make sure he was physically and mentally healthy to be able to handle a new life and responsibilities. I also think none of this should have been posted online

[@melissag8270]

I agree totally, where I live we have a very high homeless population, almost 30% of our population is homeless, and from what I have seen and experienced a lot of them suffer from substance abuse and mental illness, both. And until they can get help in that regard giving them a house and money won’t change their behaviors that got them in their position in the first place. There are definitely people out there that life just gave them the wrong cards, they probably have the best chance of turning things around vs dealing with addiction or mental illness.

[@chundur4216]

Yup exactly. It’s generally best to just show compassion and if you want to get them something, help them find shelter, substance abuse help, or buy them some necessities like food or clothing. Buying them something that requires responsibility like a home, or giving them a large sum of money is doomed to fail.

My dad was an alcoholic. He won lotteries, even. He blew all his money. He blew all his inheritance, which was all his parents’ life savings from his dad’s life working as a railroad engineer. My grandfather worked hard and my grandparents lived frugally, enjoying small-town life and “vacationed” by camping/hunting/fishing. My dad couldn’t keep a job due to his alcoholism. In the end, after he died the whole town thought my sister and I were awful daughters who shut our dad out in his time of need. They didn’t know the whole truth. Anyway, the story of Eric reminds me of this. I’m sorry Rahat got hurt by someone like this.

Rahat you did a very good deed to try to change this man's life and give him purpose. You gave him ALL the tools he needed, shelter, clothing, food, job, however because the man did not try to help himself by staying away from old friends and alcohol of course this could NEVER work. The main thing is that you tried and hopefully you will be able to regain your life back. 🙂

That homeless man is why so many people are hesitant to help out the homeless. He basically ruined it for those who would actually do the right thing if given an opportunity like that. That was every homeless person's dream come true and that punk shat on the 1 person that wanted to do a great thing.

You can't just give a homeless person a house and loads of money and expect everything to be fine and dandy. People living on the street for a while, can't look at the long term, they get by from day to day. That's how they survive. I realize it's easy to say this in hindsight, but for everybody wanting to help homeless people: get professional help from people specialized in helping the homeless.

[@canidconsulting5118]

I feel for Rahat. If you feel called to philanthropy and altruism, you have to have a very thick skin and be prepared for disappointments. The percentage of assistance that results in long term change or solutions is very small. You have to find enough nourishment in that small percentage to sustain you through the failures, and learn not to take it personally. Very very hard to do, and compassion fatigue is very real and common. But - we need folks like Rahat, with a genuinely caring spirit and a transformation mindset. Now more than ever.
