Jakob lost his job after he became unwell with a chronic disease; unable to pay his rent, he ended up living on the streets.
After being homeless for six months and living between night shelters, he developed an infection in his leg that left him hospitalised and in terrible pain.
After he was discharged from hospital, he was forced to walk for many miles on his injured leg, leaving him in further pain and hindering his recovery.
CHC paid for him to have bus passes for the duration of his recovery, allowing him to get between shelters and to hospital appointments without having to struggle to walk.
“It enabled me to recover my health and get my leg better – I am now able to walk fully and without pain! And took away the stress of worrying about how I would cope.”
