UK, Ireland /
Polish homeless in the UK [42]
yet ending up on the streets
This happens to many people who set off for far off places with just a dream in their head , and not much idea how to make it come true.....Many years ago i left my small Yorkshire town and headed to London to seek my fortune , only enough money for a sandwich , spent the first night in a cardboard box...not easy , but a few years later i was a national champion , had a nice house and pots of dosh , sad to say , some of those that slept in boxes next to mine never made it out of there , i guess it depends on how strong you are , and how lucky..... Even later in life i was able to help others in a tough spot , rescued a house full of Poles in trouble , drove all ten of them to my house in an overloaded Range rover , and wound up with five of em living in my house for some time , all rent free till they found a job.....Sadly they will still keep coming to UK with little money , and even less of an idea , in search of a dream , some will make it , some won,t.....There is actually a Polish organisation operating in UK that rescues the fallen and gets them back home....I want to help them , but at the mo i am struggling myself......
