Story
This will be my 5TH YEAR sleeping out on the street for the Glass Door Homeless Charity. Having been a homeless single mum in 2017, it is MY turn to give back.
I want to raise £1,500 for the charity but also awareness that homelessness is worse than ever before.
Please donate anything you can - EVEN IF IT IS £1 or SHARING THIS PAGE!
Together, we can to provide shelter and support to someone who has no where else to turn.
£23 could provide two personalised advice session with a caseworker.
£33 could provide someone with safe shelter, a hot evening meal and breakfast for one night.
£115 could provide ten new guests with an initial advice session from our caseworkers at one of our partner daytime centres.
INSIDE OUTSIDE
How do you escape the cold when you’ve nowhere to go?
How do you live inside, when out is all you know?
Who in the world, can you truly call a friend
When you’ve made it on the streets alone right to the bitter end?
Cardboard sheets, piss in a bucket, dog ends, plastic bed
Is this really as good as it gets before I am dead?
Their faces as they look at us in the gutter
Say the words that they mutter
As they pass us by, little do they know how long I cry
To get myself to sleep both day and night.
Used to have a home, a job, a family
Now it’s all gone, now it’s just me
Out in the cold, starting to freeze
Wishing I could just say “Help me, please.”
Someone comes along with a cup of tea
A hot meal, a smile , just for me
Showing some love and humanity.
I just hope I’m not out here when I’m old
I don’t want to die alone in the cold
Think about it tonight
Could you help to save someone's life?
