Recently, some kindergartens have been forced to close down because of the crazy increase in rents, which has caused controversy.

Every family has its own business experience, some people make all the money, and some conscientious bosses operate according to their own beliefs, with helping others as the foundation of doing business, and wealth is accumulated in their hearts. If there is no adultery, they can also become businessmen.

Po Caf é drinks coffee, which is a routine for more than half of Australians every morning. Each person buys one cup a day and drinks HK $5.6 billion a year.

Drink coffee to refresh, drink leisure, can also warm the heart, following the popularity of European and American alternative coffee (Suspended Coffee), Brisbane has Caf é owner further, you pay him to help, out of Caf é, personally to take care of the strangers around the corner, this cup of coffee drink to the end, so sweet.

From running a cafe to setting up Pay a Sack Forward, Michael Stafford's family said from time to time that he was "suffering from hardship", and some people praised him as Superman. Regardless of his praise, he always insisted: "I don't think I'm Superman, I'm just doing what I can do."

There is Mingo pie in Sham Shui Po and Michael Stafford in Brisbane.

He runs BAM Espresso in Brisbane and moved in March, opening three days in the bazaar every five or six days.

Michael's Caf é is as small as tofu, better than having great love in the heart.

When he operated independently in the stealth alley in 2013, he was already socially aware. The coffee machine in the town shop was second-hand, the furniture was made of waste wood, a fund-raising box was placed in front of the counter, and the money was allocated to three international charities.

When a guest reminded me, Michael suddenly remembered: what about Australia? What can I do for my country?

So he set up a fund-raising program for street sleepers, Pay a Sack Forward (PASF), in which guests donated 5 Australian dollars (about $35), that is, about a cup of coffee, to prepare a life package for street sleepers in the city.

PASF distributes life packages about twice a month, and that night Michael teamed up with church organizations to go out. He hopes that the number of life packages can be increased to 4000 per month and extended to the whole of Australia.

Michael's act of righteousness moved dozens of other Caf é, and their peers joined the line:

"Caf é has a very high number of customers, hundreds of people go in and out every day, and each person pays only a few yuan, so it is easy to meet the standard."

Coupled with the participation of small shops and banks in fund-raising, it is enough for PASF to prepare 150daily living packages containing water, cans, blankets, bath lotion and even toothpaste toothbrushes, which are purchased cheaply by Michael in the social enterprise center, packed by themselves, and then personally driven to various districts of Brisbane in the evening, so that street sleepers can have basic daily necessities in addition to the hot food distributed by church organizations every day.

As a matter of fact, street sleepers are a national problem that can not be ignored in Australia, and they are getting younger and younger. Young people are living on the streets for various reasons, but they are unable to support themselves. For example, they are unmarried, pregnant, suffering from emotional illness and unemployed, and some of them are fired because of the economic recession or a serious illness. They suddenly lose their jobs, and they are repossessed by the bank because of "default", or even the whole family is homeless. He is the same to the monarch at all times.

Michael hopes to promote PASF to all over Australia. At present, Melbourne, the "coffee capital", has partners to recruit 30 cafes to participate. Michael's top priority is to recruit more people to help with shopping, packaging and other work, so that he can make room for copywriting work.

"in fact, every day on the road, I see street sleepers. They are already in our lives, but they just don't have a chance to pay attention to them. I hope that with the appeal of Caf é, we can break down the invisible wall, touch the guests with homes and pay attention to those who have no homes."
