Homeless gardener
'...It won't be enough money for rent...'
"I used to be a gardener, but I lost my job, so I am living in the park. I am working
at forestry for six months from next week, in the countryside. I do not need to sleep
rough then, because I can get accommodation. I will save money from my wages, but it wonft
be enough money for rent in Tokyo. If you rent a cheap flat, it costs £2000 before
you start, and the money will never be refunded. Also I havenft got a guarantor
for rent, so I will have to go back to live in the park after that job. I will live on
the money I have saved until I can get another job. Sometimes I help homeless friends
to get jobs as well.... but there are not enough jobs for us." |
