“The people are wonderful, they feed me and they love me a lot.”
It is the first time that Federico put himself in front of the cameras to explain his difficult situation and ask for a job.
” I’m in La Línea looking for work. I came nine years ago for love, I’ve been coming and going because I used to live in Chipiona and now I’ve settled here. I’m living on the street because I have no other choice,” he confesses.
“I wanted to thank everyone who is helping me here , those who have contributed a euro, or two euros. Right now I have a place to stay, I have my house and I pay the rent with what I get from the street. I don’t spend it on drugs or alcohol, only on my rent and I invite everyone to check it out,” he says.
