Many restaurants are now adopting the concept of ‘suspended coffees’ to help homeless people looking to get some food and drink to survive. However there are many that take it a step further to help these homeless people lead a better life and that is what happened recently. A homeless man in Chester took a coffee a year ago and now has a job too.

According to a report in the Metro, about a year back David came into a coffee shop asking if there were any coffees left so that he could have it. The homeless man did not have enough food to eat and lived on the streets before the coffee along with a sandwich changed his life. The shop ShareShop in Chester managed by SHARE  (Charity Supporting Homeless Assisting Refugees Everywhere) and Chester Aid to the Homeless community helped David brush up his CV so that he could get a job to earn his living.

The homeless man David informed the aid that he went suited and booted and he finally did have a job. The post shared by ShareShop Chester has got over 3,500 shares and over 15,000 likes since it was posted on their Facebook. The concept of Suspended Coffees is certainly working wonders for many people and David seems to be one lucky guy to have benefited from it.
