Help Me Secure My Right to a Safe, Accessible Home

Donation protected
Hi, my name is David 'Abdul-Rahman' Francis

I'm reaching out with a heavy heart for help—a plea from someone who shouldn’t have to fight for a safe, decent place to live. As a disabled resident and a proud Muslim, I’ve been struggling against a local council that has consistently fallen short in meeting their legal obligations under the Housing Act . For too long (5 years), I’ve been forced to endure dangerous, deteriorating living conditions. From toxic disrepair to broken promises on essential adaptations and even furniture replacement, I am living with constant hazards that endanger my health, safety, and dignity.

Today, I need your support more than ever. I am urgently seeking funds to secure temporary housing—a safe haven where I can finally breathe easy—and to cover the repairs and adaptations my current home desperately requires. Every donation you make will directly go toward paying for a secure rental home, critical repairs, and the extra costs caused by my current home’s inefficiencies, such as unbearable gas bills and an inability to keep out the cold. This isn't just about repairs; it's about survival and reclaiming a home that respects my rights and my deep-rooted values.

There are too

Rest assured, your generous contributions will be managed with utmost transparency, transferred directly to my personal bank account to ensure that every penny is spent immediately on creating a safe, hazard-free environment. This isn’t charity—it’s a lifeline that will empower me to stand up for the rights and dignity that every disabled person, and every tax paying member of the PUBLIC, deserves by law.

Your support does more than help with bills and repairs—it sends a strong message that no one should be ignored or left to suffer in unsafe conditions. With your help, I can finally reclaim a life of dignity and advocate for the change we all deserve. Thank you for standing with me during this critical time and for sharing in the values that guide my life as a Muslim—compassion, justice, and a commitment to caring for one another.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity and unwavering support. I promise to keep you updated every step of the way as I fight for a home that meets the basic standards of safety, respect, and accessibility.

With deepest gratitude and hope, David 'Abdul-Rahman' Francis


Updates will be weekly, unless something happens that needs an urgent update.

By the way, Sheffield City Council need to be mentioned for being consistently inconsistent.
