"Wayside Chapel never turned me away."

- Lisa, visitor to Wayside Chapel for over 15 years

Lisa had been sleeping rough for many years before she arrived at Wayside Chapel. She didn't have much with her.

Due to previous traumas, she struggled with mental health issues and drug addiction. Despite the challenges life threw her way, Lisa never gave up.

From food and clean clothing to emergency housing and medical assistance, Wayside was the safe space where Lisa could seek refuge when she had nowhere else to go.

During her toughest days, Lisa felt hopeless and alone. But she knew, there would be someone who would listen to her and get her back on track.

Fast forward to today, Lisa is two years clean and happier than ever. Wayside supported her in finding long-term, stable housing which gave her the security and safety net she never had.

Your support will mean more people like Lisa can have somewhere they can turn to when there is no where else to go.
