A homeless man who makes a living off his craft

Loading player...
The COVID-19 pandemic has rendered many people unemployed and some homeless as businesses have had to cut down on staff. Lionel was, unfortunately, a statistic and he joined Keri Miller to talk about his journey.
Over the holiday period, Keri was introduced by her friend, Dennis, to an incredible creative who makes beautiful hand-made art on bags he sews with an industrial sewing machine. Impressed by his work, she bought a backpack which she now carries to work and she uses as her laptop bag. Listen to part one of their conversation.
