Real People, Real Stories

“As a woman who has been street homeless for over 3 months, I have needed the help and support from the WSUP workers and facilities. Hot showers and clean clothing has been my priority, it helps me feel nice and respectable. There is never any judgement and the volunteers are willing to go the extra mile. They have great understanding of what homeless women need.”

“When my relationship ended I had to move out of my home and I had nowhere to go. I slept rough on the streets for over a year. Homelessness is not a choice… I had noone to talk to. I had nowehere to take a shower, nowhere for private hygiene moments. The privilege to be to relieve yourself is not there. Privacy is not there. The mental side of it starts to take a toll. You start to think ‘What have I dont to deserve this?’”

“The mental part becomes really bad – the hunger, the depression, the fatigue. You can’t sleep. It goes on and on until you realise that you almost want to give up on life itself and being a bother to people.”
