It's good to see so many of you willing to feed the homeless, help them with the basics. Its desperately needed in this country.  But there's a step or two after that. Helping them get lives back, those that need help with addictions, those that have lost jobs and fallen down on their luck, those that were tricked and lost everything. No two stories are the same.

Its something I'd like to help with, where I can. We have the money to do it, all of us, and we could make such a difference. Think about it, you set someone up to do this kind of thing in another town. We can make Lawrence a better place but what about other cities. And I know we can't take on the world. I do. But we could start something amazing

There's no feeling like being cold, alone, afraid for those you love, knowing there's no way out, because anywhere you look its just more hurt and there isn't always a way out.

How are you little brother? Settling, I know its a very odd place sometimes. And being in this inn, is it...upsetting you?

The inn isn't upsetting. It's not like it was.

There's something you and Enjolras aren't telling me though.

That's a rather big part of what Robin is trying to do, actually. It's more than just feeding the people. We want them to be able to get back on their feet, too. We're working with local organizations to help provide work for these people. We're hoping to provide showers and changes of clothing so they can interview and attend work without feeling ashamed to do so.

I hope it helps. I know it'll never be enough, we can't help everyone, but I think it'll make some impact, at least.

I'll admit, I don't know all of you guys' plans, but is a housing aspect being looked into? Something temporary, somewhere they could stay while they get back into the swing of it all? Sort of like halfway housing districts or something?

It's becoming rather clear what I'm doing is missing the mark completely

Getting this organised has been one thing, but I have considered it. Caroline mentioned it earlier on.

Addictions are complicated. And on going. Quitting the shit, that's just the first bit.

Doesn't stop either. I've been clean for a while, but I will always be an addict.

Though I can shower and change clothes for myself, for the record. I live in a nice house, even.

Every day I wonder if I am doing enough. Back home, for every villager we provided food or coin, there would be another left starving from the Sheriffs taxes.

That is why I am not simply feeding them but setting them up with interviews for jobs, and health care if they need it. It isn't enough, but I feel it's imperative they are empowered, not simply handed things. I simply hope to make a difference.

Its a start which is all we can do.

It will make a difference I promise you, honestly I was unaware you were doing the employment side of things too, I'll help where I can

For such a big task? Definitely.

It was always my intention and in my plans. Simply giving them food does not solve ongoing issues.

It'll take more than money to spread to other cities. It'll take business skills, marketing, willing employees.

And do we not have the money to fund those lessons. I'm not saying it will happen tomorrow but people will be willing to learn. And you have to start somewhere

I won't accept negativity when the people just want a chance

It isn't so much about negativity, Eponine.

There is a lot that needs to be considered beyond money alone. But we are working together with the resources we can to make changes.

Eventually I hope to look to some kind of accommodations for people too.

I'm not being negative so much as realistic. It's a wonderful idea, I'd like to start looking into it. But it isn't simply a matter of money. There are a lot of steps involved to something like this.

Personally I'd say let Sherwood get off the ground. Let's see how it runs for a few weeks and if Robin needs to make any changes as it goes. Once we know for sure what's working and what needs changing, then start to spread the word.
