Dropped a small donation in to Richard and Elaine today, and was surprised to hear the age of the chap involved. (Nice to see you both again )
I had missed the "young" part of Richard's post, and simply applied my RBL stereotype soldier image.
While I am sure Richard's collection will not make this chaps life a bed of roses, it may just be the start of something better for him.
The BBS has swung into action and helped this chap out, and once again shown that a small group of people can make a real difference.
Respect.
