This Christmas, change the life of someone sleeping rough
This Christmas, change the life of someone sleeping rough
Homelessness is rising, causing mental health problems and addictions to worsen. In London, more than 150 people sleeping rough will die this year, at an average age of just 44.
The need might seem overwhelming – but God has the power to save anyone.
Anderley was sleeping in a pile of rubbish on the cold streets after losing years of his life to drug addiction, and his situation seemed hopeless.
Today, Anderley has a place to live, job interviews on the horizon, and a faith that’s growing!
Anderley says: “If I never came to Webber Street, I don't know where I would have been today. That's the truth.”
