Having met them we feel they deserve it. Please read the statement below, this person has always worked but is homeless sadly because he became ill. Let's help the little guy win. Please read

Hello guys I'm Paul.

I have spoken to a member of the Bristol University and she has suggested that I put my story to all the Bristol University students. Firstly I need to say that I love Bristol and think that we are all lucky to live in such a lovely place with a great music and social scene. But what I love most is the variety of people here and the fact that we all get along. I grew up in Northern Ireland a lovely place but unfortunately not without is it issues so I'm glad to see everyone Mix and create such a vibrant City.

I am a graduate from the University of Wales in Swansea of ancient history and anthropology and I dream of teaching both the subjects at secondary level as I believe both are underrepresented at this level. Here is where you come in.

You probably all know me or at least have seen me around playing the tin whistle or having to ask for change as I am homeless. The reason for this is because I've been going back to Ireland alot to see my father who sadly passed away in February last year. Since I missed a lot of work I was asked to leave on good terms with the reference. Sadly since then I have developed Crohn's disease and have been very unwell and lost a lot of weight. I am a proud person but honestly guys I'm scared, as is my doctor. At the moment I'm going around circles and living day by day, money for a hostel here, sleeping rough there, it's worrying but we are all in the position change this. As I live literally hand to mouth I have no stability and my doctor feels i will eventually run myself into the ground and even Die as 'i am not taking my illness serious enough' (believe me I worry).

All I want to do is teach the subject I love and live in Bristol. Now, the lovely Bristol student I met came up with this idea - instead of me asking people for 30p here 50p there why don't we all donate together and get this person off the streets into room so he can address his illness and get well. Then as I already have a degree I can then do a PGCE next year at Bristol University. So let's let the little man win for once and have me achieve my dream by becoming an ancient history and anthropology teacher. Please guys I find it so difficult on the streets I really need your help.

Give what you can please. Once enough has been received and i set up a room, money will be donated to the homeless of Bristol for things like sleeping bags, food, clothes and advice as it is such a difficult way for people to survive.

You can reach me on email on [email protected] and I will get back to you as I will go to the library every few days and let you know how things are going. I also busk at nights with my tin whistle at the waterfront Or on the horn Bridge, come say hello if you want.

Come on guys let's do this please I have a dream that I will be teaching ancient history and anthropology. if you give me 50p, a pound, the price of a pint,, whatever, this will happen, I need to believe this. You never know next year you might see me around campus. I will be the one that has his head Held High and a broad smile, the proudest Man on Campus. let's let the little man win, please donate and pass to as many people as you can.

Ps. if you know how to reachothers by putting this online for me please do. I don't have the access or the know how to do this

Many thanks Paul.
