Andrea never imagined she would be at risk of homelessness.
After more than ten years in the same home, she suddenly had to find somewhere else to live when the homeowner needed the room back for family. As rents climbed and affordable housing became harder to secure, everything changed.
Living on a limited income while managing health issues and continuing her studies, Andrea felt overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. That’s when BaptistCare stepped in.
Through Wright Place, Andrea found safe accommodation, practical support and the chance to finally breathe again.
At the WestCare Centre, she found meals, healthcare, support services and a place where she felt safe and accepted without judgement.
“The WestCare Centre is more than a place to eat, it’s somewhere you feel safe.”
Today, Andrea is living independently in her own home and volunteering at WestCare to support others facing hardship.
