There is a homeless guy near my office. He's probably in his mid to late 60s and in a wheelchair. I have seen him three times in the past two years. I bought some water and various other things for him once, and twice I have stopped to speak with him. He definitely has a mental problem, but he's also pretty sharp. It seems to come and go. It makes me so incredibly sad because I can imagine that he's been through a lot and he has nothing to show for it.

Thank you so much for doing what you do. Sometimes you're all they have.

This sounds like the saddest place to volunteer at, ever. Does it make you sad/depressed at all? Seeing people who, after a lifetime of hard work, should be able to enjoy retirement but can't because of their mental problems?

Good on you for doing this. I would cry non-stop the entire time.

What an awesome AMA! I have to admit, I had never heard of you, and I have only read one erotica series in my life (Anne Rice), as I am typically a fantasy/sci-fi kinda girl, but I would love to, and plan to, try one of your books simply because you seem like such an awesome person!
