Description
My name is Jacek. Eight years ago, I was in England, where I met Marek. We started working together, and after a while I asked him if he had a wife and children. That’s when he told me his whole story – that he had no one, and that he’d been homeless in England. I looked after him during that time, but after three years I was forced to leave England and move to the Netherlands. The day before I left, Marek came to me and asked if I would take him with me, because if I left he would be alone again. I took him with me; it was the end of September. and in December I took him to my family home for Christmas, and I’ve been doing this for seven years running. To anyone interested in this man’s story, I’d ask for any donation to help Marek in his old age. Marek is a frail man for whom time stood still in the 1990s
