Thank-you for the reply, I never noticed it until now.. I just I come on here hoping to interact with people. It advises go here say hello I cannot see a leave a comment bubble to do this. Then I am advised to go to coffee bar still no where to say hello. I was hoping to make acquaintances and perhaps have a little chat. One person said they be my friend which touch my heart bless for their kindness only to find that person changed their profile to private. Yet keep adding discussions. So a little disappointed all in all. I have had some encouraging response specially as my circumstances are more than testing.

I don't want pity I just like to be treat with the respect I once got when I worked in the professional field of health and social care and youth and community counselling etc. Its like I've lost my identity. Psychologically and emotionally, human beings need to be nurtured, made to feel needed and useful within our society. 

Last week I watch a person trying out a social study out side ICELAND Store, This person asked shoppers coming out of the store for any spare food.  The ones who engaged with him said sorry mate I have no money. He never asked for money. He asked politely for food. Eventually a elderly lady went up to him wheeling her shopping trolley. During looking inside he ask 'how much did you pay for your shopping she showed him her receipt as she needed reminded. Her shopping was 15.00. He said you are the only one who came and chatted to me and wanted to share some spare food with me. I am trying out a social study and would like to give pay for your shopping and give you extra for your kindness shown. The lady still insisted please keep your money. After a little more persuasion the shopper went off with the money. 

Which makes me assess people within our society, may be influenced by the stigma which gives rise to suspicion of the homeless. That they may be addicts looking for a quick fix, or the con person begging etc. I can tell you this is myth. I once was homeless and will never forget that experience and rejection, I turned that around and began a career of helping voluntary e.t.c. 

Many of us at anytime could become homeless. I believe there may be a bigger issue that statistics confirm through poles perhaps not up to date. 

I to did a social good deed and found charities were suspicious of my genuine kindness when I sent them donations from my stopping smoking seven years ago after several people I respected two who had saved my life as a child passed away from M.N.D and C.O.D.P. It took me a year to honour those amazing peoples life. I wanted their death to have deserving legacy. At the the end of that year I wasn't in a good place my self and I needed a an up lift. I was invited to SOUTH AFRICA and a new chapter of my life opened new doors. 


Which is a story i'm happy to share within the community at any time. If i'm still welcomed here.

Also i I still have an income to access online. For all one of my life lines it would not be a priority on my list to dos and cannot dos. That may be sooner than I have control of..
