yes. class. who. is.

always been lucky had a great education a good job and enough money to live on. i never worry about where i sleep i could eat but now i'm facing christmas and live streets. to come to the. pub it is just some of the hotel i bought some you know disappointed in the food still give me for the harvest. her. life. but you don't really feel like you have the big you know. and then. the guy just came over smithsonian gave your side. yes this.

christmas is about wolves love and family but there are so many people in the u.k. that have none of these things i want to see what it was like to be on the top the signs to go through christmas as a homeless person. myself . yes but i have said. well i know it's on your list i see it anything but a lump of coal although i don't. since

two thousand and ten the number of rough sleepers in the u.k. has increased by over fifty percent that means literally thousands are out on the street every night. i wasn't going to have enough time to really understand homelessness but everyone has to face the fear of that first night out i changed in some types of clothes packed a plastic bag. i have no idea where i'm going to spend christmas or even where i'm going to sleep. last night any. groups a few things but not too much when they. think it's just going to be like old ghost let's run. just above the water them. sometimes. sometimes. hopefully put people in

a good mood. then it's how. simply myself a bit less and also more. troops bush. that a bit stiff based. but i have no money. and i haven't eaten anything and the only way i'm going to get to eat something is on the boat following it's full always begging for enough money to get me some sweets. and that's the first part of the plan to get. this regularly fit by looking at charities but i have no idea when. i need some advice from someone on. the bus is there any way around it is creole food today you know. the place you sit in one only going to get some in

three days i think. and i'm just trying to get enough enough to. argue that he. will see what i was hoping to. great news honey i'm too late and give out food around here first thing in the morning so i'll miss what chaunce. there was no feels for it if i was going to eat i was going to have to make. myself a small something. it's a few months five minutes to bring myself to school mr chase.

but. during the sixty's when oh it's. ok if. she says christ just absolutely if. people walk by you in the door you. and this one coming down i just came every day people to quit. i didn't expect that or do. you feel so ashamed to ask people. to watch people feel about you have to do that to get to vote to give voice. to. the bus on which. to so feel better with a. place that funds the.

church. and been told that one of the coolest things about being something to the. thing that makes you feel it was it was. the intention to some people to see how they were feeling the time. that this is the anything out here they can have a connection as each time that their story adds to even though nothing him i have nothing else in life you know. lisa has been homeless for two years now she's possible to alcoholism drug addiction and a little girl now this with the older sister. in a she asks me every day. and some might say yeah. yeah when i'm in the back on the

end she's starting to stop asking now inside know why i didn't. qualify for a lot of the hospitals because i wasn't mentally ill enough i didn't score enough points to not play. in order to get social housing for most persons meets a number of different criteria since lisa doesn't tick the right books since she faces an uncertain future. yet yeah i have been for a long time now i just have nothing for it wolf i can't get past the kids i can't let michaela down consistent to face like six feet at least if i was to stop that. and yet. these cults remind me just one place we moved to christmas. it was celebrations going on all

around me but they don't mean much if you've got nothing to spend. but they're all good people who give up the money and time to spread a little festive cheer. it's just a little fall six so i'm heading down towards cherry hill sinestro to see if i can find his goals for spurs just enough so. it. looks like christian church will sit ups tables or even bills you know the characters. to be lovely. soup loves soup thank you very much think
