Campaign Story
I have a good friend called Marie who has volunteered in our local community for years and works in the community part-time. She was so 'chuffed' to gain this position after bringing up her family and returning to work. Little did she know that life was going to hand her a bitter hand. Her Housing Benefit had always been paid straight to her landlord of many years and she was unaware that this had been cut when she started work. Her landlord failed to advise her of this. She enjoyed her job very much, her children were happy at College and University and life was good. She offered to pay off the HB arrears over the following 6 months aswell as paying the deficit he was getting from Housng Benefit. Unfortunately this fell on deaf ears and she was made homeless two weeks ago. She is being supported by friends as much as possible but her pets have had to be rehomed and her family are all sofa-surfing. Her daughter it trying her best at University and her son is managing at College but how long can they continue? Marie and her family only need £750.00 to pay off half the arrears and then they can be allocated Emergency Housing (B & B) until they get back on their feet. Please, please help this lovely family. Perhaps you could spare £5 and make a real difference to someones life.

Marie is a very dear friend of mine and it's a pleasure to help her out in any way I can. Marie is one of life's angels and has a heart of gold and she would only do the same if one of her friends was in the same position. xx
Request for amendment
Update posted by Hoopingirl0267 at 01:23 pmI have been asked to remove all mention of Marie being a Health Trainer as it is believed to be inappropriate in this context. I have changed this to health worker as this is a more wide ranging title. I have also been asked to remove all reference to a certain housing
Half way already!
