The latter, beyond perception, would actually try and help by making the parties in question self sufficient, active members of the community, possibly happier and (mentally and physically) healthier. They would also quickly loose their 'burden on society' status in the action of carrying their own weight (which could be the cause of their mental state in the first place).
The former (generalizing of course) would be happy letting them live the rest of their lives as hermits on the dole and be considered being nice to people. The latter at first view would only be concerned about their hard works' earnings going to those that should be providing for themselves. However in actuality they want to make a difference for the good of all, primarily the inflicted.
I applaud the OP for being one of the latter.
As far as a solution you may already be doing all you can from showing by example.
Thanks mate, got it in one. This is pretty much what I figured. At least until I can afford that writers retreat in the mountains 
Cheers.
