Raising money for his final goodbye
Donation protected
Anthony was statemented as special needs when he was in childhood. He was never formally diagnosed with anything but adhd was a glowing trait.
He battled with having not much involvement from a strong male role model and was easily persuaded to take actions that were against his better judgement.
This led him to a path of drugs and drink at a very early age. Labelled a problem teen he then became lost in the system outdated to support him.
He spent most of his teen age years in prison due to burglary to fund his destructive and growing habit. Whilst in prison he was supported to a better chance of leaving his past behind, but each time he came back into society he was then left floundering with so much freedom and little structure and would very fast find himself back with the same crowds, the same habits.
He tried to find live, a future but sadly could not succeed in making that successful. Violence, drink, and again drugs made his ability to see his wife as a support rather than an enemy as impossible. He had no relationship with his two children or this he tried to take on.
His health mentally, emotionally and physically deteriorated beyond repair.
Having spent a number of weeks in intensive care due to ulcers bursting in his tummy, causing blood poisoning. We hoped this would be his sign of things to change. He tried, he tried so hard. He spent a number of months in a residential rehabilitation placement only to discover the cult like way religion was pushed on to you. He found faith! But when given the ultimatum of your children or God... He left.
He's had support workers overstep professional bounderies and become more than they should, sadly due to Anthony additional needs, he never really understood this was not okay.
He was finally this year given his strongest sign of hope, his own 1 bedroom home. But again 5 months later and barely anything to make it a home, it looked little better than a squat.
Anthony lost his battle for life on the 18th of May. The only comfort those that cared for him can draw from the situation, is he can't be hurt any more.
He needed support in a way that we couldn't give.
Sadly his funeral and cremation costs are not so easy to cover.
And anything raised would be much appreciated so we can give him a send off with just his close family around him. Anything additionally raised will go back to helping those on the streets.
