Help Darryl & Max

My name is Lesley Baldwin and I live and work in Edinburgh.

I am friends with a homeless man, Darryl and his dog Max. They have recently become victims of some thugs who have beaten up Darryl and stabbed little Max. Thankfully Max is ok and will make a full recovery.

Every day they sit on Dundas Street outside Margiottas. Darryl does not ask for money but is always happy to chat to anyone who stops to talk to him. He does not drink and does not do drugs. Darryl has been homeless for 3 years and does not qualify for any benefits.

People have been great about helping out with food, drinks and clothes, which he really appreciates. Now through raising awareness we have a chance to make a real and permanent difference  to their lives. If everyone who reads this just gives a little bit we can use it for rent on a flat so he can then go on to claim benefits and get himself back on his feet. Darryl wants to become self sufficient, so please give him a little hand up and donate what you feel you can.

Thank you for reading and helping a vulnerable friend.
