You can only help people who are willing to help themselves.

And what of the mentally ill and destitute without support systems that can't help themselves?
Those of which comprise the vast majority of the people we are talking about?
Despite liberal capitalism's dogma that everyone has a choice and is on a level playing field...We are not.
There are disadvantaged. There are mentally ill and others who are not capable of holding down a job in an economically sound city.
It's not about you giving up that $5 dollars so you won't have that extra foamy cafe latte at Starbucks tomorrow. It's about realizing that there is a social problem that WE as a society have ignored for far too long given how economically sound we are. After understanding that it is about making real efforts to correct some fundamental human wrongs that continue to take place.
