“We started a new job in London on a high road this week where this homeless man called John was living on a bench in the local park. We brought him a cup of tea early in the morning and offered him to come and help the next day. He was first on site and worked non stop, I have never seen anyone so happy to be at work! Got him Burger King for lunch and set him back on his way around London. He said £15 will be fine, that this would get him thro[sic] the week but the boys had a whip round and he set off with £70 at 1o’clock and asked when he could come back.
