Unfortunately, there are people living that dont have any choice and will still be the same in a year, 5 years and 10 years. They cant go back to 'normal'
after a couple of weeks. i think its good for people to have this insight into the homeless, perhaps they will look on them a little more sympathetically in future. I usually try to but sometimes i fall down on the job.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
