Dear difters,

We would like to share Sham's testimonial with you.

"My name is Sham and I fled the war in Syria. I was a child when the war started. I saw bombs falling around my family and destroying homes. When I was 19, I arrived in France on my own, without speaking a word of French.
After a journey full of pitfalls and aggressions, I met the Association Toit à Moi. I was finally able to take the first step in life. Today I speak fluent French, I was able to take steps with the Mission Locale, I took a 7-month training course to become a Vendeuse Conseillère and then I worked in a thrift shop.
After 4 years of support from Toit à Moi, I'm taking steps to find accommodation and leave my place, because there are a lot of people with more serious problems than me. I want to give someone else a chance, just as I was given a chance."

Today, Sham is looking for a permanent contract as a Sales Advisor in Bordeaux and the surrounding area. You'll find her full testimonial and CV on Linkedin!

It's for these great stories that Toit à Moi lives. Thank you to everyone who trusts and supports us ❤️

Some good news from Toit à Moi!
So, we're welcoming Thomas to Rouen in one of our accommodation-tremplins (photo). A nature enthusiast, he's currently on a market gardening course. His dream is to live as close as possible to nature and practice permaculture, and we wish him every happiness! Welcome also to Abdelwahab in Angers, who after a long and difficult migratory journey can finally take the time to rebuild his life. Wilfried, accompanied in Lyon, answered questions from influencer Juste Zoé and told his story: from losing his job to becoming homeless. He talks about life on the streets, the clichés and the realities, and how it can happen to anyone... But he's happy to be out of it! It's available to listen to again on all podcast platforms.
All these beautiful stories are made possible thanks to the donations of individuals and companies, who, each in their own way, make it possible to offer people in great precariousness a roof over their heads, concrete help, hope and dignity.
Thank you!

Many "welcomes" 🏡 And it's all thanks to you! update

Many "welcomes" 🏡 And it's all thanks to you!

New people, both singles and families, were able to be welcomed into Toit à Moi springboard housing at the start of the year. They will now be able to take the time to build the life they deserve.
For example, we present François (pictured, already well surrounded), who joined Toit à Moi after some very difficult years. In recent months he had been homeless, sleeping at Roissy airport and in a day care center in Meaux. After thirty years as a specialized educator serving children with disabilities, he "submitted to a tumble" that led him to the street. He's happy to be in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, a small town he really likes. He has a son to whom he is very close, and his new life will help him to have a more regular relationship with him.
There's also Lucas, 19, leaving a welfare structure in Seine-et-Marne.A., also in Seine-et-Marne. Mustafa, 34, Sudanese refugee. Grégoryin Ariège, in his forties, who needs to "find his port". Charlène and her 4-year-old son in Triel-sur-Seine, ... 
The suitcases are packed, new lives can begin! 
Thank you for your invaluable support.

An extra cocoon in Marseille update

An extra cocoon in Marseille

The Captain Cause mobilization enables us to equip, furnish and fit out our cocoon apartments. It also enables us to give a dignified and comfortable welcome to the people we help to get off the streets.
A new springboard cocoon has just been opened in Marseille, where Toit à Moi now has two units. Since October, an additional person has been supported in this second Marseille cocoon. The Toit à Moi adventure has now enabled more than 150 people to leave the streets for good, and get back on their feet towards a new life project.
Thank you for your support ❤
