DENVER – While seemingly in need of much more to remedy his current situation, an area homeless man announced to passersby Monday that he “only needed 25 cents.” Several who encountered the vagrant recall assessing his level of need to require a higher monetary figure. “I took one look at the guy and immediately thought he would need a lot of money, education, and maybe personal counseling to overcome his hardships,” said area resident Charles Houska. “I was as shocked as anyone when I found out the only thing between his homelessness and being a productive member of society was a quarter.” Houska, who gave the unidentified man 58 cents, hopes the street dweller’s life has turned around as of one day later.
