Moira's story | Willie's story | Jock's story
Willie
Willie is a single man born in Glasgow, who moved from temporary housing for homeless people into an unfurnished council flat.
He spent most of his adult life in and out of prison and is now a frail 59-year old with cognitive impairment, because of his chaotic lifestyle and background. He has lost the sight in his right eye and has a hearing impairment.
Spending many years homeless with a severe alcohol problem, Willie has been sober and stayed out of trouble since 2003. His main inspiration appears to be his commitment to maintaining contact with his son who spends a lot of time with him now that he is out of prison. Willie has no savings or items of his own, so ScotsCare was happy to provide basic household furnishings.
