Hello to all, Anyone who maybe following Ozzie's post about homelessness, i have spoken to him and he has a safe place tonight on a friends sofa. He is very ill and in effect now homeless. I have his phone no if anybody feels like they can support him in anyway. Tonight he is resting, he cannot cope with anymore so after tonight he needs support. PM me if you want to.

      Thanks Naila, He will read messages tomorrow. Belongings have to be removed at the latest 1 week. Think he has taken his medicines and some bedding.

    I am genuinely at loss for words at the treatment of this very unwell man. Truly shocking.

    I've only learned of ozzies plight the last few weeks.

    It has been heartbreaking to read it all unfold on here, he is in my thoughts and prayers.

    And I must say that I've been truly humbled and blown away by the kindness of people on here, it just shows there is still kindness out there.

    Wishing and praying for all the luck In the world for dear ozzie.

      Thanks, he will appreciate all the kindness of the people on this forum.

      There have been lots of thoughts, prayers and compassion shown by people here, all strangers too. Yes it is very sad that Ozzie has been treated this way, a very ill man. This is Britain 2015.

    Ozzie should apply to the Council tomorrow as Homeless.  They have a duty to investigate each case within 42 days.  Due to his MH and Medical issues he wil be classed as vulnerable.  They should put him into emergency accommodation whilst they investigate his case.  It may be that although  they say he's made himself intentionally homeless, this could change when they look into his case.  Without the documentation and full knowledge of him and the history I can't give a clear answer at this time,  Even if they still find him intentional after the 42 day period it gives him time to seek assistance to find somewhere in the Private Sector.  Shelter are a good organisation and offer great support and assistance.

      I donate to shelter each month and I would like to think this was a situation they could help with! I hope he finds a proper home as the caravan is not a great long term solution

    Elizabeth:

    I have been following the post and please keep me posted on him. I am from East Long MA> USA and am  too far away to help him. But my heart goes out to him. Here we have programs through western mass elder care that pays the person who is taking care of him a good amount per month. There must be some goverment program to help whatever kind soul takes him. I am a beleiver in the good lord and am praying someone helps him.   take care.
