So we had that community trust, but we had to have a little bit more of an honest conversation also as a community, because we had to get people to understand that when they hand those five dollars out the window, they might actually be minimizing their opportunity to help the person in need, and here's why: that five dollars might go to buying some fast food today -- a lot of times it goes to buying drugs and alcohol.
Tínhamos portanto a confiança da comunidade, mas foi preciso uma conversa honesta enquanto comunidade, porque as pessoas precisavam de entender que, quando davam 5 dólares, pela janela, podiam estar a perder uma oportunidade de ajudar quem precisa, e eis porquê: esses 5 dólares podem servir para comprar "fast food" hoje, mas muitas vezes servem para comprar drogas e bebida.
