“I am in dying need of tarpaulin because I suffered from serious leakage in my room as a result of the rain,” Said one of our service users. We always get this concern from the beginning of this rainy season and the sad aspect of it is that we are yet to meet their concern. As we rely on donation to provide their needs.
The impact of the rainy season on people experiencing homelessness are considerably terrible and life threatening resulting from their exposure to the harsh weather condition that pose threat to their health.
Their cry to this problem is help for tarpaulin and raincoats in order to use to cover at night where they normally passed the night.
Working with people experiencing homelessness for the past three years; on record as an organization we realized that members of our homeless family normally pass away during the rainy season and quite recently we have lost one (Aruna), who had been experiencing homelessness for more than ten years. He did suffer from various conditions that led to his death but one clear condition was cold.
At this point, we are begging on their behalf to secure raincoats and tarpaulins for them as they requested. We are targeting 300 plus People Experiencing Homelessness. Help donate 7$ for a raincoat per person and 9$ for a tarpaulin. Together we can “Restore Hope” to People Experiencing Homelessness.
