Helping a mum in her moment of crisis

"It helped this family know that they were loved and cared for at this difficult time."

A mum, and her daughter, have recently moved into emergency accommodation, due to domestic abuse, and are living in a hotel room. Mum is under huge stress and was in desperate need of an electric cool box to store milk, yoghurts and free-from items for her daughter, as well as a milk frother, as her daughter will only drink warm milk and has physical and dietary needs. The local Advocate said: "these items will help provide essential nutrition for the daughter and relieve some pressure at this difficult time."

Thankfully, this request for help was met quickly, in this mum's moment of crisis, which helped to provide these essentials and take one stress away from mum.

The local Advocate wrote of the impact that this request had:

Mum was feeling under great stress and was worrying about how to provide the best nutrition for her daughter who has some special medical and dietary needs. Being able to provide a cool box and milk frother enabled mum to meet her daughter's needs and helped relieve her anxiety about this. It also helped this family know that they were loved and cared for at this difficult time. Thank you so much.
