J, who has resided with us at Homes of Hope for eighteen months, has completed his support plan successfully. Coming from addiction and brokenness, J has turned his life around, is now drug free and enjoys being a hands on dad. He had restored his relationship with his ex in order to effectively co parent. he next step is independence, where he can thrive with his son. J has been offered a property to enable him to move forward and continue in his progress and journey of freedom, but he needs help with the rent.

J, who is in a family of three living in private rented and struggling financially, works nights and has to travel an hour to work. He must have clean clothes every single day as he works in a bread factory where personal hygiene is essential. His only source of drying is a Calor gas heater which they use with a maiden and move from room to room. The motor on the drum of the dryer cannot be repaired and has been condemned. The guarantee ran out just before Christmas.

Safe Families are supporting this mum who is currently six months pregnant. She has recently moved into new accommodation after spending some time as homeless. Mum has been working hard to try and get the property ready for the baby, but is struggling financially. This request is for a double bed frame as she is currently sleeping on a mattress on the floor with some blankets. Please could you help support this mum? Thank you so much.
