Help Derek Get a Home
Derek is one of the politest friendliest men I’ve come across, I’ve walked past him every morning on the way to work for years and he greets everyone with a happy good morning, no matter what has happened to him the night before or how cold the morning is. No one should be on the streets for one night, let alone how long Derek has been there. He’s beyond struggling to get housed and is being rejected left right and centre. The nights are only getting colder, and the streets are getting more dangerous at night for him. Please sign the petition so Derek can take it to the Council and other avenues of housing to show what a positive impact he has on the people in Ipswich. The man asks for nothing, he had started this petition on paper and got hundreds of signatures until some inhumane person ripped it up in front of him. Let’s get Derek out of the cold this winter ❤️
