A Shout Goes Out

There are two guys, and I stand by my policy of anonymity but they know who they are, who have been on the streets for far too long.  They know all of the support mechanisms and facilities, where and when the support is across the city, and they know me.  Knowing my mobility issues they make a point of collecting what they can during the daytime and present me with a food parcel many evenings of the week.  They always stop to have a chat whenever they are passing and always seem in good spirits.  I don’t ask them to do any of this of course, they are just fundamentally nice people who are facing some challenging times.  I hope opportunity smiles kindly on them and they find a way off the streets soon.
