Help provide a safe place everyone can turn to
On a quiet night, Chuluunbaatar stands guard at a warehouse. It’s early in winter, but the chill at night creeps in gently. The shift was routine until he learned that a car had crashed and fallen into freezing waters. His instinct was to help, but as he went to reach for a towrope, his life changed forever.
“I was trying to get the tow rope from the top of a two-storey container. But one of the tow ropes pulled me down, and one of the five teeth of the other towrope fell into my leg.”
Chuluunbaatar’s right leg was broken, and after the incident, he would face over a year in hospital. The severity of the injury has left him with ongoing pain. Unable to work to support himself Chuluunbaatar's future crumbled.
In his time of need, Chuluunbaatar turned to the House of Mercy, located in Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar.
The House of Mercy provides a sanctuary for people with a variety of needs; people without a place to call home, people fleeing domestic violence, people in need of a warm meal or a bed. Chuluunbaatar is one of the many who rely on the services provided.
Today, the House of Mercy needs material support in order to continue supporting the patrons who use its service. With limited social services available elsewhere, this House provides not just shelter and food, but access to basic medical care, showers and laundry, and counselling.
Your gift today can help ensure the House of Mercy can provide practical support for people like Chuluunbaatar.
