First Sign Photoshopped, Second The Original. What Hero's!
(those are signs they confiscated from homeless people they arrested for “panhandling” during the holiday season)

Then there is this guy: Now what would happen if a homeless quilt was made by someone who actually cared about homeless people?
Meet former ad designer Willie Baronet.
Baronet is an artist who talks to homeless people and buys their signs from them for $20 a pop, if they’re willing to sell. He uses the signs in art exhibits to educate the privileged and point them to ways they can help, and to humanize homeless people and tell them they matter.
One sign at a time, Baronet makes a statement to help people with $20 in their hand and a voice that rings across the nation saying “I’m here.” https://www.twincities.com/2014/07/15/2 … t-pays-it/
