I don't perceive much negativity. It is dreadful that anyone should find themselves in this situation.

I certainly don't begrudge Norma Waterson or Martin Carthy a comfortable life.

I know Joe has decreed that this is a give/don't give thread, not a debate, but I'd like to make a request:

To those that can afford to give money to this cause, could you also a buy a "cup of coffee" from a campaigning organisation of your choice so that real change can happen and no one has to go begging because life has tripped them up?

Those who can't afford to give money, take a little time to petition your representative in government.
