Story
Many local Leithers will know Mark, a homeless man who is often seen sitting outside Bernard Street Sainsburys. He is always been friendly and cheerful. He had bad luck in his life resulting in his current situation. Please lets all get together and give a little to help get him off the streets and hopefully into permanent accommodation. Leith's motto is "persevere" and he surely has done that. We may not all come from Leith but we call it our home and we have to look after each other.

It's great what you're doing, Luke. Just caught up with Jappy after a few weeks. He's been in hospital again. I know we're not quite at the target yet, but is there anything that can be done meantime?

This touched my heart. I have seen and spoken to Mark in the time I was in Edinburgh and it made me cry. Shame on those who have done this, but bless you for taking action. xxx

Mark is a wonderful friendly lad, having chatted to Mark last night it sounds like Social Bite are now in touch to help with something more permanent in April. X
