“We realised that many of the homeless and low income community we were meeting were in and out of prison, with no resources to help them afterwards.
“In Houston, they are dropped in their prison clothes and shoes in the centre of the city. They carry everything they own in a red potato sack. They are extremely vulnerable to human trafficking and also being preyed upon by gangs and dealers.
“We give them new clothes, a new bag, the use of phones (to call parole or a family member) and a phone number to reach us so we can help them with getting jobs and follow up care. They are dropped every day, by the bus load.”
