Aruna is gone- he died a homeless man after over 10 years of being homeless.
One man who was fun to be with, and will pray for us before he puts forward his problem/s every Sunday, during the homeless meal service. Aruna died without knowing the cause of his death but while he was alive, he was battling with several illnesses, one clear illness amongst those was chronic cold, as well as mental health challenges. By his physical looks, he always presented swollen feet which he himself admitted was a result of cold.
Aruna is gone today like many others, yet the major causes of death of persons experiencing homelessness are the exposure to harsh weather conditions, especially during the rainy season without protection and the lack of access to health care.
Unfortunately, we lost Aruna, May his soul Rest In Peace and others who died in a similar way.
Now, that we have started experiencing rains, people experiencing homelessness are in need of protection in a form of help to help cope with the harsh weather conditions. We have considered asking for a quick and a practical solution to this. To supply them with tarpaulins and raincoats. It’s temporary but it can help reduce the suffering to be beaten by the heavy rains. The shocking part is when the rain comes and get them wet, they have no way to change their clothes, one reason responsible for the chronic cold most of them suffer from.
Help donate $20 or more as we target to supply 300 homeless persons with raincoats and tarpaulins during this rainy season. Support to save lives. We missed to save Aruna’s life. Let’s try to save others. Thanking you all in advance 🙏🏾.
