My homeless friends called late last night.
The father already got a small job.
He was hired to clean a parking lot, everyday.
Its not a big job. But for someone who was on the streets for like 14 months, it is.
His wife said that, they have a room in the uncles home. Not big. but works for them.
See said that the father will earn enough working for food from them.
Im so happy for them.
i told her thanks for calling me, as I was thinking about them.
She is so thankfull.
Im glad they have been given a 2nd chance there.

yes, they just needed someone to help them alittle. They always had the offer to go to the city. Just real hard for a homeless family to get there. Not ever taxi wants to take 4 people like that. Im glad they made there, and things are better for them now.

Oho this is very good news you have given that too on the eve of New Year. I am sure your friend must be happy and will be always thankful to the person who had given him this job. Asked your friend to concentrate on the job and surely he will grow. All the best to your friend.

Hi Peter, I gave him money for a bus ride for him and his family to the big city here. Once he got there, he found a job. Now he and his kids will be ok. Have a great weekend there.

I'm glad to hear that your friend is thankful for small favors. They now have a roof over their heads and sufficient money for food. It's a good start. I've always heard that it is easier to find a job when you already have one. Being willing to work at a menial job s uch as sweeping a parking lot shows that he is not lazy.

Yes, I went to the park where they lived today. many people there knew I had helped them. They thanks me, as that was the only family there that had kids. i felt real good. Now if I could only help the 20 others there.

I am also happy for him. If he gets a job then he has the ability to earn money to buy food or other things. I think poverty is not a shame thing, if we just work hard and be positive, all the things will be better and better in the future. What we need to do is keeping on and never giving up.
