He is currently staying in our Winter Night Shelter and looking to find work and a place to live. His current phone has slowly been breaking down until yesterday when it completely died. C doesn't have enough spare money to buy a phone that will help him in all the way he needs. He needs to use it to find places to rent, look for jobs and email his CVs.
