Reflecting on Our Journey
Good morning friends, I came across this article dated 26 September 2015. It reminded me that since 2014 we have remained true to dedicating every possible hour and every possible resource to transforming the lives of our most vulnerable people.

Ross had been on the streets for 25 years before walking through the doors of Takitimu House three months ago.

You would not believe in your wildest dreams the amazing things that have been happening at Takitimu House. In my ramblings I will try to convey as best I can the kaupapa. This month alone, 10 men have moved into their forever homes. 10 people in less than 4 weeks is momentous!
