Help for Homeless people.

Hi I’m Flora,

Thank you very much for visiting my blog! Giving homeless people a home is something that I feel very strongly about. I hope this blog will change your views and make you want to support the needs of homeless people. Not many people in the UK know much about homeless people and I hope my blog will teach you a lot more, so you can donate to help people like Shane. There are thousands of people in the UK that are facing the same difficulties in their life, living without a home, on the streets can cause people to go into depression and can cause people to steal things so that they can go into prison. It is a very important cause, and we need people to help.

Shanes Story- Shane was a happy man, he had a good life, and he lived in a flat with his girlfriend for a few years…. But one tragic day his whole entire life turned around. On a fatal Easter Sunday his girlfriend very sadly passed away, due to breast cancer. Weeks after this sad death happen, Shane was acting strange, he could hear his girlfriend’s voice in his head, so he went to see a doctor, but the doctor just told him to pull himself together, but all of it was getting way too intense for Shane, so one day he just walked out of his flat, because he couldn’t pay his rent, and spent a few months living an unfortunate life on the streets. People were urinating on him, throwing rubbish on him, swearing at him and they were treating him like he was scum. So Shane decided to go to St. Mungo’s, and they gave him a nice, warm bed and they also gave him counselling. Now Shane is happy again and all it took was one little donation to St. Mungo’s to get Shane back on track and is now living in a home.
