Kupa zvinhu zvako zvekare kuchitoro chinotengesa zvinhu zvakachipa kunogona kuoma, asi pfungwa yacho ndeyekuti zvinhu zvako zvichawana hupenyu hwechipiri. Mushure mekupa, zvichaendeswa kumuridzi mutsva. Asi unogadzirira sei zvinhu izvi kuti zvishandiswezve?
26 Valencia muSan Francisco imba yekuchengetera zvinhu ine nhurikidzwa nhatu yaimbova fekitori yekare yeshangu. Iye zvino mipiro isingaperi kuSalvation Army yarongwa pano, uye mukati mayo makaita seguta diki.
“Iye zvino tava panzvimbo yekuburutsa zvinhu,” Cindy Engler, maneja wehukama neveruzhinji weSalvation Army, anondiudza. Takaona matrailer azere nemabhegi emarara, mabhokisi, marambi, mhuka dzakarasika - zvinhu zvairamba zvichiuya uye nzvimbo yacho yaive neruzha.
"Saka iri ndiro danho rekutanga," akadaro. "Rinobviswa murori rozorongwa zvichienderana nechikamu chechivako charinoenda kunorongedzwazve."
Ini naEngler takapinda mukati medura guru iri rine nhurikidzwa nhatu. Kwese kwaunoenda, mumwe munhu anoronga mipiro mumazana emichina yepurasitiki. Chikamu chimwe nechimwe chedura chine chimiro charo: kune raibhurari ine makamuri mashanu ane masherufu emabhuku akareba mamita makumi maviri, nzvimbo inobikirwa matiresi muovheni hombe kuti ive nechokwadi chekuti akachengeteka kutengeswazve, uye nzvimbo yekuchengetera zvinhu zvemhando yepamusoro.
Engler akafamba nepamwe pengoro. “Zvidhori, matoyi akapfava, mabhasikiti, hauzivi zviri kuitika pano,” anodaro achidaro.
"Zvichida yakasvika nezuro," Engler akadaro patakanga tichipfuura nevanhu vachitsvagurudza mbatya dzakawanda.
"Mangwanani ano takazvironga kuti zvienderane nemasherufu emangwana," Engler akawedzera, "tinogadzira mbatya 12,000 pazuva."
Mbatya dzisingatengeswi dzinoiswa mumabhara. Bhara imuchina mukuru unokwesha mbatya dzese dzisingatengeswi kuita zvidimbu zvemubhedha. Engler akatarisa huremu hweimwe yemabhegi: "Iri rinorema mapaundi 1,118."
Bhara racho rinozotengeswa kune vamwe, avo vangangorishandisa pazvinhu zvakaita sekuputira makapeti.
"Saka, kunyange zvinhu zvakabvaruka uye zvakakuvara zvine hupenyu," Engler akandiudza. "Tinoita kuti zvimwe zvinhu zvifambe zvakanyanya. Tinoonga chipo chega chega."
Chivako ichi chichiri kuvakwa, chinoita sechinotenderera. Kune kicheni, chapel, uye Engler akandiudza kuti paimbova nebowling alley. Bhero rakangoerekana rarira - yaive nguva yekudya kwemanheru.
Haisi imba yekuchengetera zvinhu chete, asi imbawo. Basa rekuchengetera zvinhu chikamu chechirongwa cheSalvation Army chekugadzirisa zvinodhaka nedoro. Vatori vechikamu vanogara, vanoshanda uye vanorapwa pano kwemwedzi mitanhatu. Engler akandiudza kuti kune varume 112 vanodya katatu pazuva.
Chirongwa ichi hachina muripo uye chinotsigirwa nemari inowanikwa muchitoro chiri mhiri kwemugwagwa. Nhengo yega yega ine basa renguva yakazara, kupa mazano emunhu oga uye eboka, uye chikamu chikuru cheizvozvo ndechekunamata. Salvation Army inoreva 501c3 uye inozvitsanangura se "chikamu cheevhangeri cheUniversal Christian Church".
"Haufungi zvakanyanya nezvezvakaitika kare," akadaro. "Unogona kutarisa kune ramangwana woshanda nesimba kuti uzadzise zvinangwa zvako. Ndinoda kuva naMwari muhupenyu hwangu, ndinoda kudzidzazve mashandiro, uye nzvimbo ino yakandidzidzisa izvozvo."
Ndinofamba ndichiyambuka mugwagwa ndichienda kuchitoro. Zvinhu zvaimbova zvemumwe munhu zvino zvava kuita sezvangu. Ndakatarisa matai ndikawana piyano yekare mudhipatimendi remidziyo yemumba. Pakupedzisira, kuCookware, ndakawana ndiro yakanaka kwazvo ye$1.39. Ndakasarudza kuitenga.
Ndiro iyi yakafamba nevanhu vakawanda isati yasvika mubhegi rangu. Ungati mauto. Ndiani anoziva, kana ndikasamuputsa, anogona kuzosvika pano zvakare.
