Hello, I have known Steve for nearly three years, just after he became homeless. He does not drink, does not smoke, is polite, helpful, with principles, and wishes to work.

Steve has long covid, a bad back and rotten teeth. Steve has been beaten up, had three tents stolen, and clothes stolen too.

He is considered low priority to house, because he is a single man who is just about keeping it together, but mentally he is on the edge and I fear he may die from the cold of winter, or just because of the strain of being outside all the time.

I am trying to raise enough funds for him to have a good long period inside the hostel, and also for food.

If anyone wishes to meet him person as evidence, please let me know.

The photo is a stock photo to protect Steve's vulnerability and because he feels embarrassed about not being smartly dressed.
