WOOHOO I’m glad to be writing again. I am sorry I stopped
but I really got busy doing everything to help other homeless. I did keep doing
my Homeless BBQ’s every 8 weeks which reminds me that the next Signal Flare
Homeless and People in Need BBQ is at Musgrave Park on Sunday the 8th
of May. Yes I know its Mother’s Day, but really there’s lots of mothers out
there that are homeless with their kids. At this event as always we will be
giving free Food, clothes, toiletries, blankets, kids toys and much more to
homeless and people in need.
We have started projects were we help families that are
homeless and helping them to find accommodations then decking out the place for
free turning it into a home with everything needed.
We started helping people on a One on One basis where we
help a homeless person find accommodation, deck it out with everything need,
give that person a complete make-over including job interview clothes, get a
job all with 7 days. Making a huge difference.
Lately I’ve had to slow down because of bad health. About 2
weeks ago I had a Fem right leg artery bypass and then again the next day
because it didn’t work first time leaving me with a scar from just above my
groin to just below my knee, not able to walk very well. The Doc say 4 weeks
before I can drive, 6 weeks before I can walk without aid and 10 weeks extreme
light duties.
This has slowed me down but the Homeless BBQ’s will still go
ahead thanks to the awesome people we have on our Board and the heart of the
community coming together to help which has been the same for the last 8yrs
doing them.
I asked for donations on Facebook and borrowed money to buy
a second hand mobile scooter which I use to get around and YES WOOHOO I’m able
to go back to selling the Big Issue mags again meaning I can make money again
and help homeless by buying them a “Pie & Coke”
I might feel down and not able to do much, but I’ll never
quit or give up. I did that once and never will again.
I look forward to writing my stories and sharing them with
you all.
Thank you very much for reading my blog and I hope you all
have an awesome day.
