I will Heartbeat much more re Run Melbourne in the coming days. For now, I want to let you know a story about Carrical reso, Phil. If you have been following Servants’ Facebook adventures in recent times you would have seen having his hair and beard being tidied up alongside an article about him from The Homeless of Melbourne Facebook page. He also features in Narrative. Preamble complete. Phil sells Big Issue in the city and does rather a good job of it by all accounts. Phil decided to donate half his tips from the past few weeks to Team Servants ’15. This amounted to a whopping $280!!! Let’s really think about this money. This is MORE than a week’s board and lodging for Phil at Carrical – a truly significant sum of money. No, not everyone we house absolutely adores Servants and those who represent it – indeed, some are antagonistic!! But there are far more folks like Phil that we house than not. The unpublicized, internal use only tagline of last year’s Carols @ Carrical was ‘Servants, the charity that puts back in.’ Phil has proven this on a very significant personal level. Incredible. Touching. Phil completed the 5km walk yesterday and was pretty pleased with himself!!
