Letter: Let’s help, not hinder, homeless advocate

Regarding the Sun's June 11 story, "Parks and plight of the homeless":

We truly must be a city of sin if we can't recognize a saint in our midst. Gail Sacco should be commended for what she is doing out of her own heart and own pocket, not criminally charged. What shame it is that local politicians want to shoo away the homeless. Shooing them away isn't going to solve the problem.

Why not embrace a citizen's willingness to help and invite them to assist with future planning instead of treating her like a criminal? We can all learn from such a selfless person - perhaps some local politicians can as well.
