There is a room at the inn

Thanks to a mother of four young children a familiar rough sleeper at Castelsarrasin will be spending his Christmas in a local hotel room. The SDF (sans domicile fixe) called Gregory was well known to people in the town centre as he slept in various locations, including under a bridge over the canal. Described as always friendly and cheerful and clean and presentable, Gregory won the sympathy of Angelique and her children who launched an internet appeal to fund a room for Christmas. Over 60 people contributed over 1000 euros to pay for the room that Angelique had reserved.
These acts of generosity remind us that the spirit of Christmas extends to all and can come from us all.
