Outside of the forum it has been an eventful non-event. Been trying to help someone down on their luck but they are too proud to take the help. Some lengthy messages and phonecalls later and they accept the help. They are literally down to almost nothing to get them thru til weekend and then changed their mind and said no thanks.
So I said ok and left them to it for them to eventually contact me back when nothing much can be done for them and they are asking me how they are gonna survive so I start all over again for them to again agree to get some help which is a relief again to me and then they simply stop talking to me.
I now hope they have fallen asleep and things resume in the morning. As far as I can tell, this is nothing to do with gambling, just their weekly struggle to survive.
I really don’t like being concerned about someone who does this but I realise they have issues and I can only do so much so whatever happens, I tried.
I was involved in a huge tescos end of day donation for the homeless yesterday. It’s really good to see but hard to watch when some homeless people are reluctant to take help and have to be coaxed into it while drug addicts just try to ravish the help there to support their hunger caused by drug addictions. Still, I don’t blame them entirely, thats what the profitable drug world is ignorant to. On top of that, many of them have serious mental health issues and other deep issues, be it family or otherwise related. The hard part is when all the supplies are ravished and the shy pride filled needy eventually do cave in and accept help, there’s nothing left.
It’s not as easy as saying no. Every day all over the country frustrations somewhere turn nasty or violent because some people can’t see beyond their own needs which is not great for those who volunteer to help.
It’s a tough old and sometimes complex world out there. Really humbles me when people want to help make it a better place.
its all you tipsters who are melting my profits
