C
to give homeless people a break from what they have to deal with every day.
D
to give homeless people relief from the stuff they have to deal with every day.

Explanation

“Relief from their everyday hardships” expresses the idea clearly and uses a more precise, formal tone suited to an argumentative essay. The other choices use informal wording such as “stuff” or “what they have to deal with,” while “a vacation from their suffering” changes the meaning and sounds inappropriate.
