Please Help Support The Homeless Through Shelter!
The idea was to rely 100% on sponsors whilst I was there and spend nothing whilst I was in line.
What I didn't expect from my experiment was to connect with so many amazing people who lived on the streets and were homeless.
They really played a huge part in my getting through to the end. I found it amazingly difficult to cope and I had top quality camping gear and food provided. Some of the people I met had nothing!
Before embarking on my camp out I was the type of person to not give to the homeless, but its been a huge eye opener to me. It was absolutely freezing at night and if I'm being honest it made me ill.
The lack of sleep really got to me. The next time you walk past a homeless person please take a second and think this could be you. Most people are only 3 months pay packets away from life on the streets.
Some of these guys have been sleeping tough for years! These people are amazing and due to a lot of bad luck they have found themselves homeless and in a catch 22 situation.
I work in pr and have media connections and I'm looking to use my skills to raise awareness for those less fortunate than ourselves.
I have set up a just giving page and am supporting shelter who help to re home the homeless. Every single penny helps and the majority of the items donated through my experiment will be given to shelter who help to re home the homeless.
