When Aligmantas was forced into homelessness, he had no choice but to sleep in a tent - even though he was working; and he subsequently lost his job.
“That’s it. Enough. I’m becoming too old. I’m still on the streets with no college or normal work.”
Algimantas was supported by Crisis in Oxford; he moved into a local hostel temporarily before his Lead Worker (Will) found him a vacant room.
Algimantas is grateful for the financial support provided by Crisis which has enabled him to pay his first month’s rent.
The support from Crisis has also enabled him to purchase furniture, which was essential as the room was virtually unfurnished when he moved in. Algimantas is also extremely grateful to Will for his advice help and practical support in finding suitable accommodation.
“He is cool. He is a very nice person. Seriously, I respect this man. He is doing a good job and he has a lot of experience.”
He now offers friends experiencing homelessness support and advises them to seek help from others too. “I say to them, listen, come to my house. I feed you. You can stay two, three days. Then you go to Crisis.”
“I respect Crisis for trying to help people from the street. I really appreciate it.”
We are the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.
Your donation helps to fund our year-round work with people experiencing homelessness. We offer individual tailored support to help people access benefits, healthcare services, employment opportunities, and more.
Our main aim is to relieve the huge pressure of homelessness, by helping people find safe and affordable homes as quickly as possible.
We campaign on the political changes needed to end homelessness for good and conduct research to understand and highlight the scale, causes and consequences of homelessness.
For every £1 we spend on fundraising, we raise £3.14 to fund our charitable services.
We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and promise to be honest, respectful, and accountable in how we treat you.
Where we give example stories about our members, we promise these are genuine experiences, even if their names or photos are changed to respect their privacy.
Although we cannot guarantee your donation will be spent on specific items or services, we can guarantee your donation will be used wherever it is needed most to help our work all year round with people facing homelessness.
Please contact our supporter helpline if you have any questions about making a donation to Crisis. You can also contact us if you would like to change the way we communicate with you.
