There was a part of me that was reluctant to read the article, as such material can be emotionally heavy.

But after seeing your comments, I decided to do so.

And I, too, am glad I did. Thank you for inspiring me. All the very best to you and yours.

Beautiful story. Rob and Dianne are saints in my eyes.

I really hate reading this part:

The homeless centre told them Ronnie needed an address to get a job, Rob said, but "to get an address, you need a job".

"That's the Catch 22 that loads of homeless people are in."

This goes on in several well off countries. It needs to stop.

The social services in my country offers addresses to the homeless. It's important for so many things.
