They asked for a price, but after learning what they are doing, I went over there and hooked them up myself. “It was good to have a little contact with the households and to find out their stories. To be honest I never walk past the homeless, you never know their stories, their backgrounds and it might just be a breath of bad luck so I always try to support the homeless whenever I can. . “We have offered to help them in the future.
