Donny Lad.

Where to start?

 

Since Helen passed away I've become more involved with the homeless community volunteering for the local soup kitchen.

 

I don't speak about our clients as a rule but occasionally someone hit's a nerve.

 

Will was one of our clients. Doncaster born and bred. Ex-Forces and homeless in Chester. We see this often, which is appalling in itself but he was so decent, clear and circumspect he was a joy to serve.

 

I showed this pic to him, and he said it reminded him of Afghanistan. It's Buttertubs and not entirely sure Buttertubs has been compared to Afghanistan before, or if that's a welcome comparison.

 

Will took his own life yesterday. No more fighting mate.
