What’s life like for a person experiencing homelessness?

Yesterday reminded me of how much I love the work we do with this charity and the incredible things we get to do and achieve. Yesterday we drove two and a half hours with a fully loaded trailer to help strangers who are now friends. Yesterday I was absolutely honoured to meet 8 of the most amazing, incredible and inspirational women I will ever meet in my life. These 8 women escaped the horrific and brutal regime of the Taliban. They fled their home country of Afghanistan and became refugees in ours. They spent days in hiding and crossed the […]
After a quick drop off earlier in the week it was great to get back to Puti on Kaurna Yerta (or Bush in the City) today with toiletries of shampoo/conditioner, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes. This is a really innovative idea that brings service providers and government agencies together to a safe space where transient and homeless Aboriginal people are able to camp out, and access much needed services. There were lots of smiles about the place and so good to hear 16 people have already returned to country in the one week Puti on Kaurna Yerta has been open 🖤💛❤️ […]

Each pack contains cereal, milk, pasta, pasta sauce, biscuits, baked beans, noodles, spreads, tuna, chips instant meals, and more.
