I think the work they do is so important. A great many of the people they help have mental health illnesses, so their job is crucial for this underserved population of sick people. I have a family member with schizophrenia who prefers a life on the streets and who wants to stay at the mission with others like himself. I think he understands that most people tend to blame the mentally ill for their illness despite studies that show these biological conditions are no more the fault of those who are sick than if they had cancer.
