   Thanks Geoff and Norah for sharing this. Any small gesture of kindness is ALWAYS so appreciated by the receiver – we can ALL do something no matter how small or large.

   a good read Norah, makes me very grateful that we have more regular services here for our homeless but that doesn’t make their life any easier …

      Thanks, Kate. While our services are good, there are still too many homeless and suffering the disadvantage of poverty. Every thing we can do helps. 🙂

         absolutely Norah I have been involved for decades now … with each move my involvement takes a different turn but our public housing situation is abysmal 😦

            Your contribution is extremely valuable, Kate. That you spread positive messages through your blog also makes a huge difference to many lives. You may never know just how far your ripples travel, but know that they do. xx

               how very kind of you to say so Norah, really appreciate that 🙂
               But you know I have met some real characters when I help out … met one very famous actors father who was a gifted artist but a drifter. You get to see another side of many peoples family and life 🙂

                        Too much? Is that possible? I’ve done so little.

                           I have done far too much, but then I started young … I worked three jobs to save up and did more than 30 countries in the first 18 months … then I kept it up for many years.

                           I’d prefer to settle but seems without my patch of earth there are obstacles …
