Help family fighting homelessness
Donation protected
Update I am finding it really hard finding a property to rent i have now applied for 12 houses/flats and have not been accepted on any due to the high demand and the cost! I have been told i would have to pay 6months upfront to be-able to get a property this is obviously not going to happen without help please could everyone please share and support me and my family through this hard time. I really appreciate everyone’s donations and so far i have raised enough for a deposit, i will be forever grateful for any help.
Hi, I am asking for help to get a deposit together for a family home,My partner and I have lived in our current home for the past 7 years with our young daughter.
My landlord unexpectedly served me with a Section 21 notice and has now has applied for court to evict us from our home! Over the past 7 years I have been an exceptional tenant, I have always payed rent on time and looked after the house as if it were my own property.
I contacted the council and asked for help, sadly the only advise I have received is that I should stay in the property until I am physically removed from bailiffs, which would put my daughter through a very distressing situation. If I leave the property before I am evicted then the council will view this that I have intentionally made myself homeless. I am truly devastated that I have been forced into such a situation. I have worked so hard to provide for my family, ensured that my daughter gets the best education and now I am being placed in a difficult situation that will emotionally affect her. I feel that I need to put any pride aside and ask for help. My daughter commences year 6 in September and I have no idea where we will be and what effect this will have on her education. The council advise that once we are evicted we could be put into a hostel or hotel and it could take a long time to be re-homed. We also have a family dog and all of our belongings that are unable to store anywhere. I have nowhere to turn and financially I am unable to afford both the rent and find a deposit to secure a new home for my family. I am asking for help to try and pull together a deposit to find an urgent home for me and our family. Please can you share my story and I will humbly be grateful for any donation to help us out of these circumstances and avoid homelessness. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
