It is with great sadness that I announce the death of one of our former guests, Zoe Orr. Zoe had stayed with us for over 2 months and finally obtained a place in a project in Canterbury. Zoe had many issues which we saw, particularly with drug use. Despite this, however, we did see much beauty in her. In particular, her sheer delight at building a snowman outside St Saviour's church one night, her joy at being pampered and having her hair done and a makeover, her realisation that we saw her as precious and beautiful beneath her drug issues and her realisation that she could choose otherwise. She, the person beneath was beautiful - Princess Zoe was the name Vikki (a volunteer) coined for her.

She was met with love by many people in the churches and was deeply affected by this. Many volunteers also formed deep bonds with Zoe and were impacted by meeting her.

You all had an impact on her life and she will be greatly missed.
