After seeing an injured homeless man on the streets of downtown Kingston on several occasions, Kevin Davis was moved to action.

Davis told THE STAR that on his many trips to the heart of the city, he noticed a man sleeping on the sidewalk. The man, Delroy Mitchell, moves about the city, sleeping wherever he can and after some probing by Davis, who took an interest in his plight, revealed that he had no family or friends and nowhere to sleep.

open sore

In a letter to THE STAR, Mitchell managed to scribble a desperate cry for help. The homeless man, whose foot has an open sore, which is causing his foot to slowly rot, wrote: "I am living on the low side of town. I have no one to call my own or nowhere to call home. Help! Help!"

Davis told THE STAR: "I see him all over town and nobody nah help him. Mi gi him money all di time when mi see him, but even if mi gi him, him a go still end up pan di road. Him foot have an open sore and it is rotting. Im want more help dan what mi can give him."

Moved to help, Davis said he is in the process of printing some flyers seeking assistance on Mitchell's behalf. He is also considering approaching the authorities to get assistance. He added: "Mi nuh want fi see him like dat, mi want him fi get help. Him no have no medication, no money or no food."
