I went to Footscray yesterday for a little shopping

I saw a woman sleeping rough on a bench, wearing the same oodie I have now, the cute panda one

it's warm, it's comfortable, practical

hers was already getting grubby, I suppose I would get grubby too if I slept on benches

and cute, she chose it because it's cute. She could be us, we could be her. 😭

I can't help everyone, I try to help one person a week .

    People often think β€˜I’m too smart, that would never be me’. But one fateful event - it could be a disabling accident, an abusive partner, a bad financial decision, and circumstances can spiral and life can turn upside down. You are a good person Seagoon, seeing the humanity in everyone.
