#HelpChrisAndHisDog

Chris Main, 44, is homeless, and sleeps rough with his Dog near Clapton Overground Station in Hackney, East London.

In the past week, Chris had his art collection stolen whilst he was asleep as well as the small change he had collected that day, in another incident, he had a bottle thrown at him, and has also recently been kicked in his head, causing his ear to bleed.

Life is not easy fot Chris, he is currently trying to find a permanent home, which is proving difficult. He's been told he'll be in sheltered accommodation in "a week or two".

Chris is a very talented drawing artist, I would encourage locals to purchase some of his art pieces, which he draws all day.

The money that will be raised from this campaign, will help Chris buy new clothing and basic day to day essentials, like food for himself and his dog. It will also help Chris buy the relevant material for his artwork, which will help him set up a new life with a brighter future.
