Sketch of a homeless man and his dog
As I walked through the city of Sydney this morning I saw more people sleeping on the streets than I have ever seen. One man, leant against a wall looked so frail. I crouched down and put some money into his hand. He was so gentle, grateful and humble. And that was the inspiration for…
