this is very humanistic & I like it
My next door neighbors son works every Christmas for free at the homeless shelters in London. Warmth is most essential, alas the food & clothes, the washing & hair cuts all make for a new New Year for most.
Last year, one of the helpers was actually one of the homeless from the year before.
The guy had a home, a wife & a business. His wife left him for another man & he lost everything. He became homeless. But obviously still a great guy. When Christmas 2014 came, he went to the shelter, had food, a roof & warmth, friends and people to speak with. He was clean & with new clothes, he went out & got a job, a new home & now helps the homeless every Christmas
