My daughter works in a homeless hostel on the bank to supplement her income. She is a front line worker, but not recognised as such by the general public. Not an easy job and poorly paid. Many of the residents have had such poor life experiences and parenting, they are unable to behave in acceptable ways, particularly when drugs and alcohol are added in the mix. Social distancing? Not a concept taken board by many, but interestingly no covid cases yet. My daughter has my respect. She is kind, but doesn’t take any nonsense. A hotel in a city near was used, but was trashed. There were few staff employed, many since have given their notice in as it was so difficult and they were not supported. Good, caring people not valued and left despairing in the situation.
