I don't know what is happening in the rest of the world weather wise but Sydney is absolutely vile - freezing cold with torrential rain. Not much fun at the best of times but it really got me thinking as I was preparing to drive away from the office. Just outside our offices there are a regular group of people that sleep rough in Woolloomooloo. Many of them were huddled under the bridge, trying to maintain a dry spot. How tough would it be to be sleeping rough tonight - and for the next week for that matter as the weather is set to continue?
With all the emphasis on ending homelessness, I hope we manage to make in-roads to the numbers that are truely roofless as this can not be living.
Certainly has been on my mind. Despite having a bit of a leaky roof I at least have a roof and a heater for comfort. sleeping rough is NOT LIVING.
