Look how happy the dog is!

The dog knows that Marian also put a bag of pellets for him in the bag.

They are volunteer car guards that live on tips to feed their families!

It is said that when you do good, leave your camera at home. But in the case of charities it is a different ball game, as how else would we drum up support for a good cause?

We simply have to get our name out there in the fight to survive and to continue with our work.

@papilloncharity have kept going for 18 years now against all odds and we are determined to continue.

These people are not criminals and they try their best to survive.

Imagine that your company closes down and you can't find other work. Especially if you have small children?

Would you and your wife stand at a traffic light with a board held on her chest with the words "Please Help" and "God Bless"?

Would you scratch in dustbins for something to eat?

Or collect plastic re-cycable items to sell for a meager amount?

Here's a guy off with his plastic items to the plastic recycling factory.

This guy is also a plastic and empty can collector!

What a dreary and poor life to lead!

I think she got kicked out from somewhere!

His disability walker also serves as a mobile home!

They are all people, just like you and us and just their circumstances are different from ours. The reason why they scare people is simply because people fear that this could happen to them. Another obvious reason is that some people have an inborn reluctance to give.

Next year is 2020, now listen to this. Papillon will be 19 years old and Marian and I will each have 20 years experience of charity work.

In our gratitude we now plan to host a surprise Christmas party for each of these struggling souls. We estimate that there are about 200 of them.

Are you in, or out?

I mean, would you support this worthy venture?

Thank you for your visit to @papilloncharity
