Ralph Church Back on the water
Donation protected
Ralph is Homeless and his boat was his hopes and dreams, it was his escapism, his therapy and his happiness.
Unfortunately Ralph's boat is in storage as it is in some disrepair and there are storage fees to be paid as she has had to be out of the water.
I came across Ralph when he commented on a slightly negative comment made about homeless people, Ralph was fair and articulate in his reply, mentioning how perhaps it may be nice if "rather than moan or be derogatory about the homeless" that perhaps someone could ask a homeless person what they may need to help improve Their lives and set up a "Go fund me page" whereby people donate a pound and how this would add up and could therefore help that one homeless person have an opportunity they would otherwise not have had or perhaps they needed a tent or warm clothes that would make a difference to their lives, just the fact that people care enough to donate a pound could make an impeccable difference to the day of someone who has nothing.....
Anyway .... I took Ralph on his advice and messaged him to ask him what he may need, and how I would like to do what he suggested for him...
His selflessness had inspired me to help him.
Ralph mentioned his beloved boat
This boat was, at one point "his world", his therapy, his independence, to be self sufficient, his freedom, somewhere he felt at peace .... This was all at sea.
So I have made it my mission to try and raise the funds to make Ralph's impossible very possible!
So... A little about the lovely Ralph,
Ralph has been homeless most of his adult life, but after his last relationship breakdown, he has been 11years homeless, Ralph has suffered with mental health problems and has not received any help or therapy for these problems but he found his own therapy ....The sea .... The boat made a massive difference to his wellbeing and made life easier to deal with.
He has a four legged friend Merlin who is his shipmate and best buddy.
I am looking to raise £2000
This would pay the mounting storage fees and the repair to the boat including a solar power system of some sort and also replace fishing rods and tackle that Ralph had stolen from where they were being stored by a family member.
If you could kindly donate a little something to restore not only Ralph's faith in humanity but also make a truly selfless man's dream come true it would mean the world.
