Ronald Davis-Homeless Chicago Man, Tells Heartbreaking Story.

It's a damn shame that we have so many people in America who are homeless and in poverty.  Very rich and resourceful, yet we have not made an effort to help all. I noticed some people in America will only help their "people" (People who can do for themselves)
