Ryan Bray, a kind person, wanted to give a panhandler some power by giving them honest work. People laughed at him and were mean to him when he offered $15 an hour. The poor liked getting food from strangers.
Not giving up, Bray made a sign that called people lazy and asked drivers not to let panhandlers use the road. His message was: stop making people dependent.
The homeless man said he didn’t want Bray’s job offer because he was desperate and wanted to get away. Bray stays firm because he thinks that not giving money pushes people to be self-sufficient.
This meeting set off Bray’s mission to change people’s minds. He believes that chances, not handouts, should be used to help people who are poor.
