Clara's story

Clara found stability and confidence again thanks to support like yours.

A family breakdown left her without a safe place to stay.

“For months I bounced between short-term shelters and temporary rooms, never sure where I’d sleep next.”

When she connected with MCM’s youth team, everything began to shift. With steady, practical support, they helped her access essentials, find temporary accommodation, and finally a safe place where she could breathe and rebuild.

Today, Clara has direction, routine, and hope for her future again - thanks to people who believed in her potential.

Your donation can help someone like Clara find safety and stability too - providing warmth, housing, and the support needed to rebuild after crisis.
