We are FULL in our Transitional Housing

Now, more than ever, the youth in Windsor-Essex are relying on WRYM as the answer to the homelessness situation they face.

With the increasing cost of living, low housing stock, limited options for support relating to mental health and life-skills, the team at WRYM is working endlessly to make sure that young men don't have to spend the night on the street or in an adult shelter.

YOU can make a difference!  Whether you are able to invest time, money, or goods, there is a young person in Windsor who will benefit from your help.  Every investment helps change a life.

Mother's Day is Coming!

Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 12, 2024.  At WRYM, Mother's Day can stir up many emotions for the young people here.  Whether "mom" is a source of pain, love, or both depends on the youth, but for each of the young people we serve, mom is not there when they go to sleep at night.

This year, consider giving the special mom(s) in your life a gift that helps a young person rebuild their life in the absence of one by honouring her with one of the following titles.  Simply click on one of the choices below or use the button to purchase your gift.
