Sponsor a seat for someone like Lou*
Growing up in a family affected by addiction and neglect, Christmas was often a time of fear and uncertainty rather than joy. It wasn't presents or celebrations Lou wished for, but the simple things many of us take for granted: safety, connection and somewhere to belong.
After experiencing 14 years of homelessness, being separated from her children and spending time in prison, Lou had almost given up hope that things could ever be different.
“The thing about homelessness is not knowing where to start. So, you know that you’re on the street and all you think about is right then and there — OK, where am I gonna go tonight?”
When Lou connected with Hutt St Centre, she found more than practical assistance. With the support of her Case Navigator, Marie, she found someone who listened, believed in her and walked alongside her as she began rebuilding her life.
Today, Lou is in stable housing, completing her education and looking forward to spending Christmas with her family.
This Christmas, help make sure someone else feels the warmth of a welcome, the comfort of connection and the knowledge that they're not alone.
