“If I had to sum up WSUP in a few words they would be: happiness, optimism, encouragement, wellness, inspiration.” WSUP guest Brenda shares her experiences of coming to our drop-in sessions.
Glen’s story
WSUP guest Glen shares his story of homelessness and survival. “When my relationship broke up I had to move out and I had nowhere to go. I ended up on the streets for over a year. Homelessness is not a choice.”
