Arms For Alms

The beggar woman is frail and tattered and perhaps lives in an abusive relationship with a big unkempt man whom she calls her husband. Join her for one day of her life as she begs by a busy railway crossing and dreams of a better life where there is comfort and a lot of money to spend. But will she take that big leap? Will she leave all that’s familiar and embrace the ‘rat-race’ of life that sometimes fills her palms with coins? Or will she as the day draws to a close return to the comfort under a bus shelter and let her dreams be just that – dreams.
