Hi, my name is Riley. I’m fundraising to help support me and my fiancé, as we navigate an incredibly difficult paty of our lives.

Recently, we became homeless, and despite doing everything we can to stay afloat, things have become overwhelming. I’ve had to leave my job due to circumstances that made continuing impossible, which means our income has dropped sharply at the same time our stability disappeared. We’re doing our best, but we’re struggling to meet even our most basic needs.

We’re currently living in a tent and trying to stay warm, safe, and hopeful. Every day is a balancing act between finding food, keeping ourselves sheltered from the cold, and trying to hold onto our mental health. We’re exhausted, but we’re still fighting — together.

Your support would help us with:

• Temporary accommodation so we can get out of the cold and stay safe

• Food and essential supplies

• Travel costs for job interviews, housing appointments, and accessing support services

• Saving for a deposit so we can work toward stable, long-term housing

I know times are hard for everyone. Any help — whether it’s £1, a share, or just a kind word — makes a real difference. We’re trying to rebuild our lives, find work, and create the stable home we’ve both longed for.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and thank you for any support you can give. It means more than we can ever say.

With love,

Riley.
