Firemen are like military personnel in my view, they usually serve unquestioningly, so the least one could do is befriend them, and help in real tangible ways, rather than dropping coins into a collection tin somewhere when you know they never get the help or friendship they really need.
When we were there, it became apparent again, just how badly we all need to be needed.
Russell lives alone, often seeing nobody for weeks on end. While we were there, he spoke about Nip Nip who was his house rabbit that died recently, he was ripped up about it, and then one realises, he was a responsible person before, having had a family etc, they have all left him, and all he had responsibility for, making him feel worthwhile, was this rabbit.........
Martin mentioned to me after I said I would make the adapters that Russell was shocked that we were prepared to do stuff for him, without dipping into his funds.
People need to care more, in more tangible ways.
Right....... I am off to go buy some travel to get to Clem's party with my buddy.
