on Dateline on, uh, Australia, uh, that, that it has only increased
exponentially. Especially, especially like in the last six months. It seemed
like homelessness absolutely exploded. |

I would say the first nine days I had this deep, deep ache in my chest and I

in the past. It feels like an elephant on your chest. But my wife who is a
nurse assured me that, no, Andy, that's the, I've got it too. That's the

children and grandchildren think about what you do? Andy (00:30:31): they uh, they would
rather we didn't. Jacki (00:30:34): They said that? Andy (00:30:36): Oh yeah. We're worry
about trying to think of all of them, but I think pretty much all of them are
concerned. And they don't invite us over right now. Bonnie (00:30:49): We're social distancing
away from family.

NOW
UNABLE TO SEE HIS OWN FAMILY, ANDY STILL BELIEVES IT’S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY. ANDY 23.38 I used to
look through people who were homeless, digging out of a dumpster and not feel
any of their pain. They were invisible to me. I didn't even, I didn't even
sense a feeling of empathy. I looked right through them. And / now I am
haunted by the thought of one human being being left on our streets. Imagine living in a
city with 44,000 people left on the streets, and you're haunted by the
thought of one person being left on the streets. FADE TO BLACK |
