\u201cI thought I was going to be on the streets for the rest of my life,\u201d Vince says.<\/p><\/blockquote>
But in a moment, that all shifted. \u201cI was lucky that Wesley Mission came along, and they changed all that for me,\u201d he says.<\/p>
Vince says he\u2019ll always remember that day. He woke to a commotion in the park. He walked over to the Department of Communities and Justice marquee and there he met Rob, Operations Manager for Wesley Homeless Services.<\/p>
Rob simply listened to Vince as he shared his story. \u201cRob was really a big comfort and really compassionate. And he said to me, \u2018One way or another, together we\u2019ll make sure that last night was the very last night you\u2019ll need to sleep out\u2019.\u201d An invitation was extended to stay at Wesley Edward Eagar Centre, inner-city emergency accommodation.<\/p>
Vince vividly recalls that long walk from Wentworth Park to Wesley Edward Eagar Centre in Surry Hills. \u201cIt was raining heavily, and I got to the lodge and I was soaked. It was so good to have a hot shower and a hot meal. I was very grateful.\u201d<\/p>
While thankful for these comforts, when Vince first entered Wesley Edward Eagar Centre, he felt overwhelmed. \u201cI couldn\u2019t handle all the people.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
