I'm not outraged. I'm deeply saddened. And genuinely.
I certainly don't only care about myself. I don't have any family - I lost them a while back, all by cancer. I have estranged far flung uncles and aunties. I went to bits after my parents died. Lost my job, got behind on the mortgage.
I know what it's like to be on your own and how crucial it is to receive the slightest bit of care or compassion and how far those gestures go.
My neighbour used to loan me bits of money here and there and I'd go buy pasta and tinned tomatoes.
Luckily I now have my GF who literally saved my life. She bailed me out of some serious stuff emotionally and financially and that was after just a few months of knowing her.
That was 4 years ago now but I'm here by the grace and compassion of other people.
If I could help someone somehow, I would. Because the slightest thing makes all the difference.
