I was able to do a nice thing for some   community  members.

I was homeless

and made a poor living by flipping polar   fleece

Essentially,

shipping costs would have killed any margin
销往外地的运输费用会把我的理论扣光

and local wasn"t working.
而本地又没有任何销售渠道

So I took the downtime I had at a night job
于是,我趁着晚间工作时的休息时间

and made double   fleece  no sew tie blankets
做了双层的无缝羊毛毯

and handed them out to fellow homeless people
把它们分发给了其他的流浪汉

after shift one morning
那是一天早上,我下班之后

at a food pantry
