Trying to Rebuild After the Unthinkable

Trying to Rebuild After the Unthinkable

Hello, my name’s Brody. I never imagined I’d find myself in a position like this, but I’m reaching out during what has been, without question, the hardest time of my life.

I’m doing this quietly , because my children are still so young and I don’t want them to know just how serious things have become. They don’t need to see their dad falling apart.

What Happened

Not long ago, I was in a horrific car crash with my kids in the car beside me. By some miracle, they weren’t hurt. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about what could’ve happened… If I’d lost them, I honestly don’t think I’d have made it through. That thought still keeps me up at night.

I wasn’t so lucky ,I came away with serious injuries that have stopped me from working and now on top of everything else, we don’t even have a place to properly call home.

At the moment, we’re staying with my brother in his tiny flat. He’s been kind enough to take us in, but it’s far too small and it’s not fair on him or the kids. We’re sleeping wherever we can fit. It’s not sustainable and I can’t keep pretending this is okay for much longer.

Why I’m Asking for Help

I’ve always tried to stand on my own two feet. I never thought I’d be asking for this , but I need help now, not for myself, but for my children.

I’m trying to raise enough to:

£90,600 – for medical treatment, physio, and ongoing care

£28,400 – to cover rent, utilities, and the basics while I recover

£4,800 – for food, fuel, and essentials for me and the kids

£45,000 – to clear mounting debts and overdue mortgage payments

£650,000 – to buy a small flat so I can give my children the fresh start and stability they desperately need

Doing All I Can

I pick up shifts when I can manage it and I’ve leaned on friends and family where possible. But I’ve kept this quiet for as long as I could. Truth is, I can’t keep going like this.

If you can spare £5, it would mean the world to us.

Even sharing this or sending a kind word helps more than you know.

Every act of kindness—no matter how small—keeps us going.

A Second Chance, and Hope

This accident changed everything. But I’ve been given a second chance for myself and for my children and I want to make the most of it. We just need a proper roof over our heads, a little peace and a way forward.

And through it all, Blackie, our little dog, hasn’t left my side. He’s been a quiet source of comfort during the darkest days and I honestly believe he’s kept me going.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support whether it’s a donation, a share, or just kind words is helping us rebuild ,piece by piece.

With all my heart,

Brody k
