Well it’s true I always like looking at the positives in
life and things I do. As a lot of you know I recently had my whole leg artery
transplant and I couldn’t walk right for about 10 weeks, I even used one of
them mobile scooters just to get about.
Well with different expenses and things I lost my unit,
there just wasn’t enough money for everything. Now before anyone starts
worrying and things I am good, I am temporary staying with someone and one
thing I know is that if I work hard I can get back on my feet again.
The Homeless BBQ’s we do helping hundreds of people every
event with food, clothes, toiletries and things will still go ahead every 8
weeks and still making a huge difference to help homeless and people in need.
I have started selling the Big Issue magazines again in the
city as a means to earn income to get on my feet which really is great for me because
I’ll see and keep in touch with homeless and yes still (When I have money) do
my “Pie and Coke” which means buying a homeless person food and drink and
sitting down having a chat about how they can get on their feet. Thinking about
doing this brings joy to me because some of the happiest moments in my life was
helping someone get on their feet even when I was homeless, you see not all
problems cost money to fix, sometimes making a phone call changes everything.
So for my positive part, yes I lost my unit but now I’ll be
spending a lot more time helping and being around homeless which enables me to
help so many more people. I believe I will get back into another place soon
though with hard work selling my mags, so if you see me and want one please
come by and say “Hi”
Another positive which you all will like is that I’ll have
lot’s of amazing stories of real life homeless I can write about which for most
will inspire you because it’s amazing watching some of these guys getting back
on their feet and what they go through getting there.
