Story
On 17th September 2017 I will be doing a half marathon to raise money for the House of Mercy Homeless Hostel in Gravesend.
It's easier to become homeless than you think..........It's hard to pass referencing on a rental......landlords won't take tenants on benefits.......benefits don't cover the cost of even a room.......and saving for a deposit is virtually impossible.
The House of Mercy provides vital help and support to those who find themselves on the streets. They provide a roof over your head, food, cooking skills, job hunting skills, counselling for those who need it and help in securing a place to live. All of this is funded by donations and they can't do it without the support of the local community.

You never know what life has in store for you, having been a resident of the H of M myself. A great local cause that will massively benefit from your fundraising. Well done on your HM, Lindsey. 😊
