Funds will go towards helping homeless people around Melbourne
StreetSmart Story “…we recently assisted a middle aged man who had been homeless for around 14 months…. sleeping rough for many months. He had come across an old derelict caravan that he could obtain … and with the aid of the StreetSmart monies we were able to help him equip it internally to a livable condition. In doing this he was able to place the caravan in a secure location at the rear of a friend’s home and live independently and safe with access to laundry and bathing facilities. When I last spoke with him a few months ago this arrangement was still in place and he was surviving well.” John Fraser, Hastings Community Centre. |
