June is Coming to an End

A short extra post

No, you don’t need me to tell you this. With a calendar or a diary or just a phone with the date on it, you will know the date.

But the end of June is the end of my sale.

Look at this picture. Does it look like the usual kind of place for the homeless? No, I don’t think so either. Does it look like it smells of old cabbage and worse? Well, it doesn’t.

For all the people brought here after living on the streets, this must feel like they died and went to heaven. A place purpose built expressly for them. Not just any shelter. A nice place with food, washing facilities and friendly people.

And all it takes is a small donation from you to keep it running. There are very few staff as most of the work is done by volunteers (of whom, one is my son).

I will take a donation at any time of year. What I have done in June is to halve the amount I am asking for.

This is the last ask for awhile.

Do stop and think if you could put a penny in the bucket, so to speak.

Do you know that every time I mention money on this site, a few subscribers decide to depart? Yes, it is crazy because everything I write is free to everybody, and any money raised goes to this lovely charity. Nothing changes. Nothing at all.

Do they think I am going to reach out from this page and steal their money?

Yet I continue to take the chance because I believe in this shelter.

Do help.

And please don’t go. I don’t bite.
