Christmas should be a time of joy for everyone, but for many families on the edge of homelessness, it becomes a cruel reminder of how excluded they feel from society, and from any kind of hope for the future.

After Matt* suffered a workplace injury while working on a casual second job, it wasn’t long before his young family were forced out of their home and into their car. Right before Christmas.

But when his partner Jess* picked up the phone and called the Salvos, everything changed…

“We were at our lowest point, but the Salvos gave us hope. They gave us stability. They gave us our life back." – Jess
