Gary's story

Gary found safety and belonging thanks to support like yours.

Illness and injury left Gary without a safe place to stay.

To keep warm, Gary spent his days at the local shopping centre and walked the streets through the cold nights.

When he connected with MCM’s outreach team, everything began to change. With warmth and quiet determination, they helped Gary access essentials, find temporary accommodation, and finally a safe place where he could rest and rebuild.

Today, Gary has stability, community, and a sense of belonging again - thanks to caring people who believed in him.

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