Story
Martin maguire is a local man from Holyhead who's been sleeping on the streets of Holyhead for the last 10+ years.
Through no fault of his own he suffers from a mental illness which results in him having no trust for people.
I wanted to get Martin into the travel lodge for Christmas but due to his trust issues he has declined.
So please can you help me raise enough money to buy Martin some all weather clothing and equipment.
I am hoping to raise enough money to buy Martin a all weather coat, boots, socks, roll mat, hat, gloves, sleeping bag, and tent.
I spoke to Martin last week for 10 minutes and asked him what his plans were for Christmas., he said he has no where to go or anyone to see for Christmas.
Can you imagine how hard it is sleeping outside, and night after night in this weather, with no break from the eliminates?
So would you please try help me get these things for Martin and put a smile on his face this Christmas.
I will be telling him if I'm successful enough to buy them for him that this is a present from the local people of Holyhead to a local man from Holyhead.
Please please try and help, any pennie or pound will do..
Thank you very much for taking the time to read..
