Deposit and rent for Tracey
Donation protected
Over the past few months I've gotten to know a homeless girl who has been living on the street in Summertown, in Oxford, outside the Sainsburys. She is so cheerful and hopeful and always tries to help passersby - she gave me a sandwich once when I came out without my purse.
I have started this GoFundMe campaign to try and help her to raise enough so that she can put down a deposit and have at least enough to cover her rent for the first month or so.
If she has an address, she could do so much. She was studying for a business qualification when she was kicked out of her house by her previous landlord because the benefits system has changed here in the UK.
It is getting colder and colder and it is unbearable to think that a young person with so much life inside them and so much hope in their eyes is reduced to sitting on a blanket, shivering and begging, and sleeping in a tent at night, in a grave yard. I really think that if she could find herself back in a house, or even in a room, that would mean one less person is lost. She knows that I'm starting this campaign for her.
That is not her in the picture - I wouldn't do that to her, but she has tried all the ways of pulling herself back up and she is on all sorts of waiting lists.
If you can possibly help, by donating even the price of a cup of coffee that would be enormously appreciated.
I will top up with anything else she needs and would make sure that the funds go towards housing for her.
Please let's help to get her into the warm by Christmas.
