    This is what im looking for. I have been homeless just recently becauae i got retrenched, i dont have any family, and ex girlfriend whom i lived with broke up with me becauae i lost my job. Will you please help me until I get back on my feet. I do not have any additions, I am just down on my luck
  • Where in cape town is this shelter? What is the criteria to be able to stay here?
  • MY ONE BIG QUESTION... what happens to the person who doesnt have that R20, who hasnt got a JOB but who desperately wants to make a change? Do They just get turned away??? Are they told that Must they beg on the street to get that R20 for that night and thus start a pattern of beggibg every day just to be housed at night? I would really like that question to be answered.
