Story
There has been a young man sleeping rough in Burnham On Sea for the last few days. This would give him a room for a week so he can find himself somewhere permanent to live and get himself back on his feet.
Feed back from everyone who has met this young man has been so positive about how polite and grateful he has been. we have a 'pay it forward scheme 'at a local cafe and he did not want to use it more than once as he felt guilty.
he had his coat stolen this week - you may remember how wet & cold it was last night!
Hands of change Burnham and surrounding area volunteers & supporters have found him a replacement coat and some extra clothes. he is bowled over by the fact that he has somewhere comfortable and warm to sleep tonight, the opportunity to shower and the luxury of being able to make himself a hot drink.
if you wish to make a donation however large or small then please do. it is great to see with everything else going on that there are still people out there willing to show kindness & humanity to other humans(especially without judging).

8 years agoWhat a wonderful town we live in! We have now asked Just Giving to suspend this appeal and we are working with a volunteer from 'Somewhere House'. Many thanks to all of you who donated. HOC set up the page, you made this happen. To paraphrase, "He that saves one man, saves the world entire"

8 years agoOn behalf of Matthew, thank you so much. He's got a place to stay for the next week. Any future donations will go to Kay to sort him out some clothes. Kay's taking him to meet someone from the council so he can talk to them about housing and finding a job - he really wants to work. On behalf on Matthew, just one of many young people out there who need a helping hand, thank you. x
