What a wonderful idea! That would be MUCH better! Are you offering to pay for the services of a qualified lawyer because we would love to take you up on it.....

And yes, I do think they deserve a real lawyer. I also think they deserve to get paid, get housed in conditions that do not resemble a dungeon, and get fed on a regular basis. However, right now that is NOT happening. Whatever resources we gather are given with love (money and time) in an effort to help those who can't help themselves. The money is being spent to feed them and in some cases pay for rooms.

I think its only fair to give other socially minded people an opportunity to join in the efforts to do what we can. Translators would make the process easier......

"If there is among you a poor man, one of your brethren, in any of your towns within your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him, and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.
Deuteronomy Ch. 15
