Recipient story
Long term homeless with addiction issues. Recently completed rehabilitation to successfully change his life and gain a home.
Other hardship(s)
Successful artist in the area fell into a spiral of addiction leading to health related issues and slowly destroying his life. He developed carpal tunnel preventing him from creating the art that was his only passion. This led to alcoholism and long bouts of depression.
He eventually lost his home and people stole his artworks, he then became homeless. The alcohol consumption seriously degraded his health over the years and he was hospitalised regularly. He was dwelling in a dilapidated caravan shell on an undeveloped block of land before he started getting assaulted by drug addicts wanting him to leave.
He was moved into emergency accommodation and assisted to undergo rehabilitation (requested by himself). Life took an amazing turn after he was released from rehabilitation and he received a new home for himself and a new lease on life entirely.
He still requires support but is prepared to make the most of what he calls a second chance at life.
