Ruby Crew for Wollongong Emergency Family Housing
Since our arrival at Port Kembla, we, crew members, aboard the Ruby Princess have been shown great compassion, love and support by The Mission to Seafarers and Wollongong community.
Their thoughtfulness and generosity have lifted our spirits in this tough time as we all look forward to seeing home and reuniting with loved ones in the near future. We cannot thank The Mission to Seafarers and all of those involved, enough for their efforts to deliver care packages and their endless supportive words.
Our friends and family from all over the world are happy to know someone cares about us and wishes us well. In honor of the kindness shown to us, a few of us decided to return the love and kindness back to the community.
That is why we decided to start a go fund me for a charity local to Wollongong called EMERGENCY FAMILY HOUSE INC. Some around the world are restricted to their homes, some are waiting to return home and some have no home at all. We would love to help a family feel safe and sheltered in a place to call home. If you are able and wish to donate, please share some love with an amazing community of people. Thank you!
Kindness is giving hope to those who think they are all alone in this world.
About the WOLLONGONG EMERGENCY FAMILY HOUSING INC.
Wollongong Emergency Family Housing (WEFH) supports families and individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to either keep their existing accommodation or attain and keep new tenancies through a combination of early intervention, case management, referral, advocacy and information. Additionally we provide support and transitional accommodation (depending on vacancies) to individuals and families in crisis, and assists them to achieve a level of independence that enables them to re-engage with their local community and live independently.
We deliver a range of services through our 4 program areas to assist those who are homeless or at in immanent risk of losing their tenancies. We provide information, referral services and will work with individuals/ families and tenants to resolve issues with their landlords directly where possible.
WEFH continues to use a collaborative, client focused approach to case management and support. Clients often have complex and diverse needs and the service ensures that the process remains flexible in order to meet the individual requirements of each family or individual. WEFH identifies the importance of client ‘self-determination’ and encourages clients to identify their own needs and make informed decisions about services that can best assist them in achieving their goals.
