before I head for my nice warm bed tonight

I need to tell you that it is cold here, nearly freezing, and it is raining outside. The dog is refusing to go out in the weather. And there are people sleeping in tents near the highway on the edge of my town because they can't afford to live in a house or an apartment. And they are there illegally, trespassing on public land, so they are cold and homeless and they are always afraid that the police will come and tell them that they have to leave. It is wrong, and it bothers me, and I don't know what to do. But I thought that I should tell you. It is freezing cold and it is raining and people I know are sleeping in tents near the highway. I don't know what to do.
