Colin’s Story – From Crisis to Compassion
When Colin found himself homeless, life became a daily struggle for survival. Cold nights, hunger, loneliness – and at one point, the loss of hope so deep that he nearly didn’t make it through. But Colin’s story didn’t end there.
With the support of others and his own determination, Colin began to rebuild his life. He used his experience to give something back. Working alongside the Rotary Club, he became an ambassador for the rucksack initiative – helping to ensure others sleeping rough have access to the practical essentials that made such a difference in his own life.
In this moving and honest video, Colin shares what life as a rough sleeper was really like, how he got there, and why something as simple as a rucksack full of essentials can mean the world to someone in crisis.
“If I’d had one of these rucksacks back then, it would have made a huge difference.”
We’re so grateful to Colin for his courage in sharing his journey – and for inspiring others with his commitment to helping people facing homelessness.
