This lady is homeless, due to the cost of living and rent arrears. Her general wellbeing is deteriorating, as well as her mental health. We are currently collaborating with partner agencies to work with this lady in the hope of starting a rehabilitation process. In the meantime, we at St Vincent de Paul are currently asking for your kindness and donations to house this lady for four nights in a bed and breakfast as respite away from the streets, as a start on this journey to recovery.
J, who has recently had a relationship breakdown, recently lost their mum, resulting in homelessness. With nowhere else to go and without access to benefits, these funds will allow for safe emergency accommodation for five nights in a hotel while figuring out the next necessary steps.
Until last year, this lady was living independently, working, and caring for her adult son who has Asperger's. Then her world changed when she collapsed with a brain aneurysm. Mum spent months in hospital and is now having to learn to walk and look after herself again. She has a small flat, gets help from debt support, and has deliveries of frozen meals. As this lady has no space to store these meals, she would really love a small freezer so she can eat well without the stress of having to ask for help with shopping.
S was made homeless due to a relationship breakdown & received support from a local homeless charity, Beacon House, and was referred to Colchester Engagement and Next steps for temporary accommodation. Since then, S has strived to rebuild her life and has been given the opportunity to live independently in sheltered accommodation. She recently moved in with few belongings and is requesting support to purchase a cooker so she can begin to enjoy the everyday activities that many take for granted.
