A Llanelli woman has spent the night sleeping rough to help the area’s homeless.
Claire Yeo, a mother of 3 from Swiss Valley took part in The Wave’s and The Cold Truth’s Sleepout in the Liberty Stadium car park last night (Wednesday 20th February 2019).
Claire said:
“It was an amazing but humbling experience, I’m completely soaked through from the waste up and my big warm jacket is actually dripping from being over my head!”
“I also had a big bag that someone was kind enough to give me to put over my sleeping bag but I was still soaked.”
“I am however, really lucky enough to be going home for a hot shower and somewhere to dry my clothes.
“I would like to thank everyone for supporting me and a massive thank you to everyone that donated, the current total is £300 in just one week!
Trampface are Lee West and Paul O’Dwyer. They lived homeless on the streets of Swansea and in the migrant camps of Calais for charity and awareness. SA1UTE was set-up by co-founders Reeco Rees, Carl Dent, Royal Marines Colour Sergeant Lee West and former Royal engineer Paul O’Dwyer to help struggling former servicemen and women.
