You present "I chose not to eat" as if you made the moral choice. But there is no shame in asking for help if you need it. I don't have illusions about what most people asking for money are going to spend it on. Honestly, they have to deal with loneliness and destitution somehow. That is why I specifically say regardless of whether I think they deserve it.

Which was my point really. Of course there is no shame in asking for help but not everyone does. It's partly why I ended up homeless.

I applaud your generosity though.
