00:16and you used to live at this park? yes I used to sleep over there in the
00:20casebo my wife passed away a few years back and I sort of went a little bit
00:28mentally unstable and certainly spent the money from the sale of my house and
00:35everything like that in doing crazy things poking machines alcohol drugs
00:44all the above which you know I guess we're not proud of but these are these
00:50are things that humans do but you know whatever I can do to return favors that
00:57are in this realm of being then so be it and what would you like people to know
01:06about people who sleep right? that it is right
01:11it's not roses but
01:17you do make of it what you will and you will see the kindness of love and the goodness
01:26we do you know jails, psychiatric centers, domestic violence, aboriginal groups so
01:39socks and underpants we always always need brand new
01:43they only accept really good quality yeah they don't have to be design the label but we do want
01:50them to be you know decent because if we give something to somebody we want to
01:55respect them for who they are yeah and lift their spirits
