I was a happy young boy and I loved to sing beautiful songs…,
but in life it is not always as one wishes.
My story of how I ended up on the street,
will seem to most people quite similar to the others
stories of people who ended up on the margins of society,
so read it and judge whether this is the case.
I’m not looking for sympathy or fake pity, I can
but many people learn a lot from my story.
Even my childhood was not strewn with flowers,
as was the case with most of my peers who are
carelessly ran after the ball and enjoyed all the joys
childhood and returned in the evening to the shelter of the family,
where a warm bed awaited them.
Until the age of six, when my old woman died
mother, I lived with her and enjoyed at least some joy
childhood, which I was later deprived of.
Even though my mother loved me very much, she couldn’t have me
afford and she gave me after the death of my grandmother in
foster care. Although, apart from parental love, I don’t have it
nothing was missing and I got along well with the foster parents, yes
that also ended when I finished elementary school.
At the age of 17, when most boys are already running for
girls and enjoys all the joys of youth
exuberance, my life’s journey began,
which I still walk on today. Instead of walking
to school, I had to worry about my own survival.
I got a job on a farm where I was exploited
day and night. They put the most difficult work on me, on
but in the end it was still not well done. For
everything‚ that was wrong was always my fault.
The salary I got at the end of the month was not
not even enough to afford as a young lad
some treat at least once a month. After half
years of service on the farm, where I am day and night
smelled like cattle, I looked for another job, and
this in the factory. I felt a great relief. The difference
it was like night and day. I worked in shifts,
but only eight hours each compared to the farm,
where there was no schedule and I had to be
always available. After I finished my job, I
had time for himself and his needs. I lived
in a single home, where I didn’t lack anything either.
I was employed here for about three years because
but I was more ambitious, I was looking for an even better one
opportunity for work. Because I have completed only
primary school, I realized that I was better
the job is not waiting anywhere. However, in life
sometimes it also turns for the better, and this at the moment when
one does not expect this. That’s how lucky I am
visited once. A friend found me a job that
was better than the previous one. It’s the first time in my life
was the master of his life. I had
a salary I was happy with and I could
treat yourself to a little more than just one pizza a month,
I still have something left. I stayed there for six years and
I’d probably still be there if she wasn’t human
the evil that is so characteristic of Slovenia and
most of its inhabitants, stronger than goodness,
of solidarity and help to a fellow human being, which he chronically
lacking, especially since our adultery
Slovenia is independent. One day when I was on
lunch with colleagues and we indulged in plenty
one beer per meal, our colleague saw us and
accused the bosses. So we are because of 1 bottle
hop juice everyone else out of a job. Because she was
the job is also linked to the apartment (I lived in
singles’ home), I was also left without that.
So, for the first time in my life, I found myself on the street without everything
— no money, no housing and no job. Because you are
I didn’t know how to help, I started living
the way other homeless people live —
I started begging and begging for money so I did
you could buy a sandwich, cigarettes, as well
a drink. After two years of living like this, he is my friend
took to his apartment. I was there approx
three years, where in return I performed various
housework. I spent the next six years working on one
various occasional jobs for the farm FREE of charge or
for goulash, tripe, etc… Everything they did for me
on this farm, it was that they made me healthy
insured and provided me with official residence.
Since then, I’ve been on the street and I’m ruling the roost
whole days hoping to find a job again,
started a family and got a roof over his head, since
where no one will be able to throw me on the road.
I have been looking for a job for quite some time, including at
I report to the employment office every three months
and I hope that some ray of happiness will shine again someday,
which will completely change the course of my life.
Now I spend my nights in the Homeless Shelter
, where care is taken
for a warm bed, clothes, shoes and food, and where
The staff of the shelter offer us everything that
we absolutely need to survive, if of course
we follow the rules that are prescribed for normality
operation of any such institution.
I hope you didn’t have a life path like that
I and that you will never go or se
found on a path such as mine.
I wish you wouldn’t look at
us homeless people like excrement
on the brink of society’s precipice,
but on people who can
they haven’t found the best in life
or fate brought them to
the situation as it is. In short,
we are people who are needed
help to dig ourselves out of
misery, but not mercy or even
contempt and scorn. That’s why
— help us!
