Well, maybe you would or wouldn't invite this person, but we should remember to help people who are having problems! For example, if you will bring some useful objects to the meeting, I (Sara) will take them to a homeless shelter, Welcome Home (here's a 2013 article about them), which includes:
Coming to the rescue of the homeless all year round, the organization in Greensburg provides emergency shelter for families and single women for up to 60 days.“People need emergency shelter for all sort of reasons, but it’s usually due to economic reasons,” Mrs. Burrik, house supervisor said. “About 70 percent of our clients are single mothers looking for work. Some are homeless due to a fire in their place of residence and some suffer from alcoholism, mental problems or drug addiction...We’re the only entity in Greensburg that provides shelter for families and women”...To enable its clients to get a fresh start, the shelter accepts all sorts of household items and furniture. Some of the most needed items are cribs, beds, couches and chairs, diapers, baby wipes and formula.* (Update: this was a staged charity event, with another son Pete Ritchie, posing as the lost soul, lol)!
