Showers

The simple dignity of keeping yourself clean and smelling good is not something that we often ponder. However, if you are living on the streets or in substandard living conditions, it does not take long before dirt and sweat become embedded into your clothing, skin and hair. One youth recently asked for hug from someone but took back his request because he said that he was gross. We gave the hug anyway! But this only shows that the simple dignity of being clean can either erode confidence or affirm it. The Refuge provide access to hot showers (with soap and shampoo) for youth each weekday and when needed. Please consider providing one shower, a week of showers, a month of showers or a year of showers.
