![Last night a life was saved by two of the Take Kare Ambassadors]()
At 3.45am, Laura and Meggie were walking back to the Safe Space at Town Hall to finish their all-night shift. They found a man lying on the road covered in blood. Immediately going to his assistance Laura commenced providing CPR to the man who had been badly beaten by a group of other men. The man stopped breathing twice as they waited for the paramedics to arrive and take over.
Few people would have known that Meggie is Thomas Kelly’s cousin. Absolutely amazing work. We are so proud of both of you.
Working with the police, ambulance and paramedics this shows how crucial the Savlos Street Teams and Take Kare Ambassadors are to the night scene in Sydney.

![Generosity of the city]()
The Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation was invited to present at a fundraiser in Sydney on Tuesday 10th March 2015.
Along with three other charities, all of whom are doing amazing work to make the world a better place. We were each given 6-minutes plus 6-minutes Q&A to get our message across to the audience.
The people in the room that night dug deep and donated a total amount of $212,000 to the four charities. None of us could believe the total generosity of the human spirit in the room that night.
Blown away. Faith restored in humanity. Thank you to all of the people who attended that night.
