Many young people of my age don't have the support of a loving family in the way I have and when times are hard you need that support to help you through.
More and more young people are struggling with family breakdown, mental health issues and substance and alcohol abuse and we are seeing more of them becoming homeless as a consequence.
The YMCA support young homeless people. They have had their funding cut by the local authority. Their funding provides the staff who support the young homeless so without this funding will not be able to offer their services. I am therefore sleeping rough to raise awareness of young homeless issues and to raise funds for the work of the YMCA.
Please please please support me by donating to my online funding website. My target is £500. Many thanks. Karl
