3. Getting Ready for a New Job
Phil’s story pays emotional respect to the compassion-ability and energy of London’s community. His meeting with a friendly hairdresser turned from a routine grooming appointment into a beginning toward a better future. Phil’s real thanks for London’s people originates from their consistent gestures of compassion for the homeless population. His timing for his haircut proved to be quite fortunate since he subsequently revealed his interesting professional prospects. Apart from a regular salary, the work as a painter and decorator provides the essential requirement for accommodation—two things absolutely essential to break the cycle of homelessness. This story brilliantly illustrates how a little act of kindness could coincide with and support someone on their road to stability and self-sufficiency.
