Winter is difficult and dangerous season for homeless. However, they can overcome it with a little help. Thanks to you they can live better lives.
Thanks to financial help from people, at the end of 2016 we were able to insulate old parts of hospice for homeless people.
Another activity of 2016 were workgroups. These have obvious success. Homeless people acquire work habits and learn how to work together. One of the clients of these working groups was even able to leave Depaul.
Finally, we would like to share the story of Pavol from Shelter of St. Lujza for sick homeless people.
Pavol and his story
Pavol was once a baker. However, everything changed after break-up of his family relationships. With that came also the health problems, which he has long ignored until one day he woke up in the hospital ... with only one leg. However, he went on with his life. In a wheelchair or on crutches, he was determined to arrange all necessery things.
In early winter, his life changed for the better. Pavol, after getting into shelter, stopped drinking, got rehabilitated and got prosthetic leg. Even his family noticed the effort he put into rebuilding his life. They got in-touch with him again. Today, he is proud grandfather, who even walks his grandchildren to school. Pavol is definitely proof that happy endings exist.
