Orlando is 83 years old. He is one of nearly 8000 men and women who live and sleep on the streets of Rome. He cannot afford a roof over his head. He sleeps in a dirty and dark corner underneath a concrete flyover by Rome's Tiburtina station. Orlando's friend and carer, Roberto, is 50, he is also homeless and sleeps in the same place. Roberto fears that Orlando will not survive this winter on the streets. The mornings are bitterly cold, they sleep little, and have nothing to do all day long. If we can get them both into an apartment, at a cost of around £500 a month, Roberto will also have a chance to get work. He will have an address and a base, he will be able to keep himself well presented and in time, earn money and find their own place. Meanwhile, Orlando will be comfortable and safe. We would put up to two others in the apartment with them, giving a total of four men a chance of a new life, a new start. Our aim is to support them through the winter and re-asses things in March 2017, by which time these guys will start to be self-supporting.
