Thanks for all the ideas, everyone. MM, that is a really good idea on how to start small. Perhaps I should put this plan off until I finish med school and am a psychiatrist.

Rose, I'm sorry that you are reacting that way to my idea. In my defense, I said in my original post that I am "very loosely playing with" this idea. Nowhere did I say that I was definitely going to implement it. I have ADD. I get 1,000 ideas at once, and I am too distracted to implement any of them. This doesn't mean that I don't take them seriously, or that I don't want to implement them. I desperately wish that I could act on my ideas and see them through to completion. This is a major goal of my therapy.

The people who "don't take the plight of the homeless seriously" are those who pass them on the street and don't even stop to acknowledge them. Not people like me who pray for them, and give them money. The fact that I even had this idea is proof that I am taking the issue very seriously. So please don't attack me. I've been going through a rough emotional time lately.
