Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

We have all walked past someone sleeping rough and many of these people have a very sad story, whether it's the loss of a job, business, a relationship break up or even a family feud, many of those out there are not there through drugs and alcohol which I think many of us believe, that is sometimes the only thing left at the end of the day that gets them through the loneliness, boredom and pain but not the cause of their homelessness. I was originally just going along to take photo's but feel I need to do a bit more. I'd like to help someone get back on their feet into work and a home that many of us take for granted. So on the 18th November I am prepared to give up my warm cosy bed for a night to join those who spend every night outside probably worrying about whether they will be beaten up or even wake up the next day. With charities like Depaul all money raised goes to helping young homeless people in the right way. I thank you for reading my page and any donations would be greatly received xx
