And in the months since he and his 15-year-old have been living in the Salvation Army’s new $25-million, 31 home complex, his son’s life has changed for the better and it’s presented an opportunity for Bishope to give something back to the community.

They are an ever-increasing presence on the streets of the city - but asking Hamilton’s homeless how they ended up where they are is not always a straight-forward exercise.

We knit and crochet blankets, jumpers, hats, scarves, gloves and socks for people in Romania, Moldovia and the Ukraine. There is a desperate need for warm clothing and blankets in these desperately needy areas where war has stripped people of many of the basic needs we take for granted.. Our group is always needing more supplies as we work all year round – we can use up your odd balls or part-balls or even bigger quantities that can make a jumper. We have willing hands but are constantly needing fresh supplies of wool/acrylic. If you can help, we will be very grateful. Just ring me, Pat, on 021-057-0371 and I will arrange to pick up any quantities you may wish to donate.
