THE APPROACH OF THE COLD SEASON OFTEN MEANS MUCH PROBLEMS FOR THE HOMELESS AND THE SHELTER-DWELLERS.

The approach of the winter season lower temperatures often means much problems for the homeless people and some shelter-dwellers.
Over fifty homeless people are said to have died as a result of cold related ailments. As the requirement for each and every individual to bundle-up himself, or herself in warmer winter clothes has increased, many homeless people and shelter-dwellers have equally done so to protect themselves from cold and survive the winter with the help of the lending hands of many Americans.
However, such difficulties would not suppress the livelyhood of many shelter-dwellers. or the homeless people and deprive them from the joy of the holiday season, christmass and new year's eve celebrations. Some shelter-dwellers and the homeless people whose lives had seemed as of those in constant drunkness would smuggle soft drinks with high alcohol content in to the shelter and keep themselves drunk through-out the season to exaggerate their joy for the season, despite the restrictions that forbids alcohol beverages consumption and narcotics use in the shelter.
