Help for homelessness in New Zealand
From people who came through it
“If you are just starting out with nowhere to sleep, I will not pretend it is fine. It is not. Your phone is your lifeline. Keep it charged. Find the places that give free meals. Learn their times. Be polite, even when you are exhausted. A hostel bed is not the Ritz but it is a door you can lock. Do not give up on the clinic. The line is long but it is a line forward. Some days you will want to quit. Just get through the next hour. That is all.”
stillbike88 · been through homelessness“Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. I remember showering at the gym like it was yesterday. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. You're not on your own.”
