Please note that at the moment Richard is overwhelmed with the positive response and offers to help him that he has asked we hold off on sharing his contact details.
I met Richard as I was refilling my car, he asked for a few coins for food. Explained that he was homeless. I then suggested we go into the garage shop and get some food. I asked him for his story as we walked and he told me he used to be a gold trader but some business moves disappointed him. He was forced to eat into his capital and now he was homeless sleeping at parks in gated communities. I suggested we go to the supermarket to get him some food for a week. the excitement on his face. He says he doesn't drink nor take drugs but does smoke ciggies. I asked that he tell his story on camera as it could be a lesson to many. He said something profound but unfortunately not on camera. He said, "making money is the easy part". Richard is hopeful besides his circumstances and that makes me happy.
We parted on hopeful terms, I got grocery for him, I gave him my voucher that Knorrox had gifted me so he can have food for the rest of the month, we exchanged numbers. I'll keep in touch with him and help where I can.
Remember folks it's not how much you make but rather how much you keep. Wealth is about sustainability.
