Help support grieving family becoming homeless

Hi, I’m doing this in order to support my sister who is being made homeless when she is disabled and has MS and walks with a stick.

My sister has always stayed with my gran and has supported her and done everything for her. They lived in a council flat but due to my grans disability she was not able to leave the house for more than 5 years and the council would not help her or try and get a new house. My gran was in hospital last year for 10 months with sepsis we were told she wasn’t going to make it through the night. My sister was the one who went up to see her and sit with her. My gran fought so hard and made it through but unfortunately she could no longer walk and had to re learn how to feed herself etc.. the council eventually offered her a new house that was adapted for wheelchairs. We accepted it in a heartbeat and my sister got all of her house ready for her anything to make it the perfect home for her coming out of hospital.

My gran got out of hospital on the 10th of November and we had a small gathering with our close family that my sister had arranged. We then all tested positive for covid on the 13th of November. My sister had to care for my gran while being extremely Ill with covid. That was fine up until the 19th and then we had to phone an ambulance she wasn’t great at all. My sister was caring for her and the ambulance said they had to take her. She begged my sister not to let them take her because she didn’t want to get kept in and not come back out. The same morning of the 19th our uncle George went into hospital due to covid and he was like a dad to Caitlin. They were really close. The next day we had to phone an ambulance for my mum because of covid and how bad she was. My mum and George were the worst and my gran was actually doing okay and she told us she was getting out on the 23rd and the ambulance was arranged to bring her home. The hospital then phoned Caitlin at 2am saying my gran had taken a turn, herself and Jacq rushed up. When the nurse came she told Jacq and Caitlin that her lung had collapsed and she wasn’t going to make it so they then had to phone other family to come and see her. That ward were my gran was were amazing and they went and brought my mum down to say goodbye since she was in high dependency in the covid ward. My gran passed away at 4:50am on the 23rd of November.

Caitlin and Jacq then had to go to see George as they got a phone call saying he had taken a turn. They went up on the 26th of November and we spent all day with him and went home at 3am. Jacq then got a phone call at 5am to go see George as he wasn’t great. They went to see him and sadly George passed away at 7.15am on the 27th of November.

Jacq was pregnant at the time with her babies and George was so happy to become a dad again. Sadly Jacq has now miscarried.

caitlin and Jacq and my brothers and sisters helped pay for the funerals. They were £8000. We cremated my gran on the 9th of December and buried George on the 10th of December.

My gran wasn’t out the hospital long enough to put Caitlin on the tenancy and because of this the housing is now making her homeless. She has MS and uses a stick but she always cared for my gran and made sure she had everything. She did her personal care, feeding, cooking, dressing, etc… Caitlin has always been the one to do this but now the council is saying she has no right and they won’t help. She doesn’t want to keep the house but would just like them to help even find a new house or flat instead of putting her out on the streets. She has done everything the housing officer has told her and contacted the homeless people in Glasgow but not one person is helping. This is making her MS and mental health worse because of the amount of stress she is under.
