When you sponsor a room with SASH you can help a young person like Erin
Last year 129,000 young people faced homelessness.
That’s thousands of vulnerable young people with nowhere safe to stay. Instead, they are left feeling scared and alone. This needs to change.
Young people like Erin who have nowhere safe to stay are currently faced with additional challenges due to the cost of living crisis.
Erin's Story
Erin was 7 years old when her dad passed away. She lived with her mum and siblings before her mum remarried and her stepdad joined the household. When she was 19 Erin sadly lost her mum to a long-term illness.
