Home Full of Hope

Many women wander the streets and are in need of help, so where do these women go? Several honorable women have started a home right here in London. Women who have problems with avoiding crime or have been in prison ought to come to this house. Although, the house does not question class, any female sufferer can come and seek refuge here.

It is not only a place of refuge but, they try and aid women in several ways. One goal is to have women find themselves, as well as trying to save women who may fall victim to a life of crime (Household Words Vol VII, 169). This house is growing in establishment and has done well with rehabilitating women. For instance, the police entrust this house with women who have applied for relief (Household Words Vol VII, 169). While there have been some failures with rehabilitating women, there have been many women who have been helped by this program. The city of London is better now that there is a place such as this.

Many of these homes were in Wellington Square shown above.
