Some people just need a helping hand.

I just want to saw how chuffed I am.

I've posted on here before about a homeless man around the corner, first who I asked the community for some spare items and they got angry at me for encouraging vagrancy, then I posted about how I offered to let him come do the garden and my husband was a little concerned about it.

Well he's come twice now, he's worked two full, full days (and he's due to come again in two weeks when I get paid) and he just came by because he wanted to tell me because I helped him out, he's been able to rent a room at a shelter for the next month.

Could he be lying? Sure, but I doubt it. He never comes around to the house unless it's for work (so he's not here every two seconds begging), so I feel more inclined to believe that he's just an old man who was dealt a crappy life card.

Quite happy for him.
