Your compassion can help someone find hope on their journey to homefulness
The approach of autumn means falling leaves and warmer clothes. And as the colder months come, more people will continue to turn to Hutt St Centre for help — many for the first time.
You can help welcome them in.
When an unexpected redundancy left Claire* unemployed, she began looking for a new job. But as the COVID pandemic struck, the job market dried up – and eventually so did her savings. Before long, Claire could no longer afford her private rental and faced sleeping on the streets in her sixties.
With your support, she was able to turn to Hutt St Centre for help. Our Aged City Living team advocated on Claire's behalf, and secured her a safe place of her own.
Every gift helps provide essential services and practical care to people who feel stressed and have no where else to turn.
"I want to share how grateful I am for Hutt St. Because every single person that I've worked with has been lovely.
Hutt St have worked out things that I couldn't to get me this home.
I love it here. This is where I want to stay for the rest of my life."
