Shower Trailer
We were blessed to finally receive delivery of our portable shower trailer for Worcester’s homeless. Shutdowns since March have left no facilities open for the homeless to shower. An angel donation came from a long time friend and supporter of Net of Compassion, Sophie Kozaczka of Keller Williams on Shrewsbury Street, Worcester. Sophie lost her son Joshua to addiction on Nov. 12, 2019. She wants the shower trailer to serve as a tribute to his life and a tangible reminder that people still love and care for the homeless and addicted. She hopes that this loving environment may spur some towards recovery.
