Kathleen Toal, an 81-year-old from Tottenham, is facing heartbreaking circumstances. She has recently lost her son, who struggled with mental illness, and feels deeply let down by the system that was meant to support them both.

Kathleen is deaf and mute, and now finds herself alone without the care and companionship of her only son. On top of her grief, she is left with the heavy burden of covering funeral expenses and managing her day-to-day living costs.

We are asking for your kindness and generosity to help ease this difficult time for Kathleen. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly towards funeral costs and supporting her basic needs as she navigates life without her son.

Your support will mean the world to her and help ensure she does not face this hardship alone.
