Support needed to help a 53 year old man rebuild after many months of living in his car
GIVIT
Christmas 2025
After a series of life-changing events left him without stable housing, this 53-year-old man was forced to live in his car. As we often say in this sector, we are all only a few critical incidents away from homelessness, and his story is a powerful reminder of that.
Significant mental health challenges, particularly depression, made it harder to avoid setbacks. Homelessness prevented him from working, and without work, stability remained out of reach. Despite these obstacles, he has maintained a positive outlook and determination to move forward.
He has recently secured safe accommodation and returned to work, showing remarkable resilience. Starting again with nothing, his new home is unfurnished, and he needs support to create a safe, liveable environment that promotes wellbeing and recovery.
Providing essential furniture and household items will help him rebuild his life with dignity, stability, and hope for the future.
