It Starts With Caring And Empathy
I went to Boston yesterday for a scheduled appointment, and I took snacks to hand out to the unhoused homeless. If you think the unhoused homeless situation is bad in Manchester imagine what it is like in Boston and in the bigger cities. I have seen it and have worked with it. Ten years ago,…
