Tony was sleeping in his car after losing his mother and his home. Today, he runs a charity bric-a-brac shop.
This story
After caring for his mother until she died, Tony had to sell their house to clear debts and ended up sleeping in his car at sixty. A local charity put him in touch with Emmaus Village Carlton, where he was immediately offered a place to live. Following a triple heart bypass, he now volunteers three days a week sorting donated vinyl and running the shop.
