Winter Without a Home: Sacred Heart Mission

I love Winter. It is cold, moody, grey and wet, and the other night saw gale force winds, but I am thankful that I have a home and I was safe and secure inside. It was roaring outside, and I was cosy and warm.

This caused me to think about Australia’s epidemic of unnecessary homelessness, and how it becomes even more difficult for people in the colder, wetter months. I can’t imagine what the other night was like for rough sleepers, given how much the weather impacted on homeowners across the State.

If you feel like helping out with this, even only a little bit, I can recommend a donation to our long-time client (in my architectural life) Sacred Heart Mission, which has been doing good things for many decades in St Kilda, a beachside Melbourne suburb. Check them out here, and make a donation. They work hard to make a little bit go a long way.
