Story
If coronavirus hits our clients, it could have a catastrophic impact. More than 50% of the people living in our hostels are at high risk, with chronic underlying health issues.
They don't have the means to protect themselves against the disease. They can't stockpile food or soap. Self-isolation and social distancing is a challenge when living with 20 other adults.
This is an unprecedented crisis. We still don't know the full impact the virus will have for the people we support, but were determined to do everything we possibly can to protect them. Our staff are working tirelessly on the frontline in our communities to reduce the risk of Coronavirus to our client group while continuing to care and support them.
But we urgently need your help to prepare our services and protect our clients from the impact of the disease.
How your donation will make a difference
Your donation will save lives. It will make sure we can:
1) Equip all of our hostels with materials, like hand sanitiser and protective clothing, to keep staff and clients safe
2) Create self-isolation spaces in hostels to prevent clients with symptoms from infecting others.
3) Make funds available to help the vulnerable homeless people in our hostels to purchase food and other necessities if they cant afford to.
