Support for Rob Tomlinson & family.

The Bedroom Tax! Often a topic of debate! However, I will not get into politics or a debate about the UK government currently in power as this is for Rob Tomlinson of Liverpool, England.
I do not know Rob however his story that featured recently in the local Liverpool Echo really made me want to do something to help him and his family. Rob is 48 years old , has cerebral palsy and has the mind of a 4 year old. Rob and his family have also recently been evicted from their Bootle home of 24 years, which had been specially adapted by the local council in order for Rob to have the equipment and comfort that he needs to live his life.
Due to the bedroom tax, the family were forced to move from their home and are now living in a tiny bungalow with adapted bathroom. A previous property that they'd lived in meant that Rob was using a paddling pool in the living room to be bathed in as no other available properties had the adaptations required by Rob.
I am against the bedroom tax but I am even more against the fact that somebody's severe disability means that they cannot live comfortably. Rob's brother Gary and sister in law, Joan are Rob's full time carers and I cannot imagine how much stress this tax has caused them as well as Rob.
I am hoping that anybody who reads Rob's story here will be able to make a donation (no matter how small) in order for the family to use the funds to make any required adaptations that Rob needs or even perhaps to pay for the three of them to take a much needed holiday after all this stress!
For more details you can read Rob's story here and I thank you in advance for helping with this cause.
I know the people of Liverpool are a generous lot so let's try to raise as much as we can!
