£0 remaining for a safety garden fence
This non-verbal three year old autistic child has a visual impairment and no sense of danger. The family are in need of an enclosed garden fence for the child’s safety Mum can’t work as she is full time carer for her son and dad works on a relatively low minimum wage. The family have applied for disability benefit, but have not had a decision as yet.
Please can you help us to create a safe outdoor back garden space that is usable all year round for these primary school aged autistic triplets. Family members have tried putting tree bark down, but the kids have no sense of danger and ate the bark. This led to all sorts of medical problems, hence the need for artificial grass and secure fencing to prevent them from running off onto a busy road.
G has been alone since he was a young teenager, having had to leave his home because of a desperate situation. Due to previous trauma, he has struggled with addiction. G has been on an amazing journey recently, and through the friendship of some of our staff, is making really significant progress. He has started helping with our organisation and has an amazing work ethic as he cooks and cleans our building. We would love to bless G with some new clothes, as much of what he has is second-hand.
We got to know D, his wife and their four young children through our Children and Family Centre. They live in a one bedroom flat, but have managed to get a new flat through the council that is larger, though very bare. D has started doing it up, but they have very little money. He is currently studying and his wife works as a carer, so their income is small. They would love to get a carpet for the largest bedroom and living room that will warm the house and make it more comfortable.
