Food stamps for weed

My roommate Eugene has two Jamaican friends. They are a couple. They told him to let them sleep where we live for one night. They used to take the couch seat cushions to sleep on them on the floor. I kept thinking about a way to help them and I bought a queen size air mattress for them from Amazon for them to sleep comfortably. I was also buying food for them due to them being homeless. The Jamaican man told me that his girlfriend has a job and she doesn't use her money to buy food. They drink alcohol, they smoke cigarettes and my roommate told me that they smoke weed. Last night they only bought two steaks for themselves and they didn't buy a steak for Eugene and on top of that the Jamaican man sent Eugene to the grocery store at night to buy something for them for him to cook the steaks. Everytime Eugene got his food stamps a black guy used to come to this house to get Eugene, they used to go somewhere together to turn Eugene's food stamps into cash, he used to give Eugene some weed and he used to keep all the money. I told Eugene to stop giving his food stamps to that black guy because he was letting Eugene and his cats starve. Eugene used to get really hungry, he used to go to the dollar tree store to steal food and he used to steal my food. Eugene listened to me and he stopped giving his food stamps to the black guy in exchange for weed. One day Eugene went to a grocery store, the black guy that used to take Eugene's food stamps was at the store. He told Eugene to give him his food stamps, when Eugene said no to him the black guy pushed Eugene down to the ground. Eugene told me that if he comes here looking for him to tell him that he doesn't live here. How can I think about fame and glory when so many things keep happening in this country?
