an Old Wheel-char Man

There are many homeless people in downtown Victoria.
One of them is an old wheel-char man who always sit(?) in from of a church and yelling in a loud voice, "Spare your change!" His voice is loud enough to be heard about 20m (about 66 feet) across the road.
When I heard this voice in front of him at first, I was a little scared. But after hearing it many times, I got used to it.

Then today, when I heard the voice again from across the road, I suddenly thought, "That's good. I still hear this voice. This means, he is fine. His voice is still strong enough to be heard across the road. He's been yelling over one year. I remember I had heard this voice a year ago at the same place same season. He's been treated by someone..."

I still don't have the courage to give him a change, but the fear is completely disappeared. It was good to know that even the people like him aren't given up by entire people.
