After a hard childhood, Jim left care at 17 and was given a few pounds to start a new life of his own. Without the support he needed, he became homeless and slept rough for many years.
After years struggling to cope, Jim met St Mungo’s project workers who helped him start to rebuild his life.
When asked what would have happened without St Mungo’s, Jim has no hesitation saying “I’d be dead by now. Guaranteed.”
Jim now has a permanent home. He has reconnected with his sister and niece, and often travels to the coast to spend time with them. Jim now volunteers with St Mungo’s and now plans to work as a mentor to help other people who have experienced homelessness.
Add St Mungo’s to your Christmas list to help us get someone like Jim off the streets and into somewhere safe and warm.
Your support could help them take the first steps towards rebuilding a new life.
There are so many more people like Jim who need your help.
