Our Impact: Meet Carole* from Wandjoo Bidi

<o:p> </o:p>The situation was dire for Carole, whose frail health meant she needed immediate accommodation to get her off the streets. <o:p></o:p>
Following a referral from Ruah, Carole got a call from Wandjoo Bidi with some welcome news – there was a room available.<o:p> </o:p>
Thanks to the team at Wandjoo Bidi, Carole was provided a place to stay where she feels welcome and safe. <o:p></o:p>
“I don’t know how I would have survived if I had stayed out there any longer,” Carole said.<o:p></o:p>
“I am so thankful that I am at Wandjoo Bidi. I feel safe here.”<o:p></o:p>
