Since Pope Francis became pope in 2013, he has made the plight of the homeless and the other marginalised group's one of the defining themes of his papacy.

Pope Francis has out shelled out an aid worth $6 million in 2014. Refugees, prisoners, the homeless, the sick and the elderly benefitted from the aid that charities received from the Vatican office responsible for taking care of the poorest. Individuals also received direct Vatican aid - 8,000 people benefited from it in 2014 - along with religious communities which used it for basic needs or building renovation work.
The donations are generally modest, because the Vatican hopes to reach as many people as possible, explained Bishop Diego Giovanni Ravelli, chief of staff to Polish Archbishop Konrad Krajewski who heads up the charity office.

The care and compassion of Pope Francis makes him to connect to strangers under pain and suffering.

Pope Francis had made a call to an Italian citizen, Franco Rabuffi. Franco Rabuffi disconnected the call twice thinking that the call was a hoax, and someone was trying to play pranks on him.

However, when the Pope rang back the third time, Franco Rabuffi realised that it was Pope Francis trying to connect with him, Rabuffi, along with his wife, appeared before the Pope during the Vatican's general audience and personally apologized for his mistake.

"I was speechless. But Pope Francis came to mu rescue, saying that what had happened was funny", Franco Rabuffi reported.
