Not long ago, Maggie never imagined she would be without a home.
She had worked hard all her life as a nurse and carer. But when her husband was injured and unable to work, everything changed. What started as coping quickly became crisis.
After months of sleeping rough and worrying about food, washing, and safety, Maggie and her husband found their way to Baptist Care SA’s WestCare Centre.
“That was the turning point for us,” Maggie says.
“If WestCare wasn’t there, honestly, we would’ve been in real trouble.”
WestCare gave Maggie a place to shower, share a meal, and feel safe. With practical support, referrals, and ongoing care, Maggie and her husband were able to stabilise and rebuild their lives.
Today, Maggie volunteers at WestCare, helping others who are where she once was.
