Together we could end housing injustice
About two years ago, Ray needed somewhere where he felt safe and supported to live. His sight was deteriorating due to Leber's disease, a hereditary condition, and there was no suitable housing adapted to his new needs.
'Looking back, I remember how worthless and unheard I felt.'
Ray approached his local authority for accommodation but was unsuccessful. Then someone mentioned that Shelter could help him. He walked into the Liverpool-Merseyside hub and spoke to Naomi, a housing rights worker. She helped Ray to apply for temporary accommodation.
We supported Ray until he was allocated a safe home. A home adapted to his needs so that he could live independently and safely.
A gift from you today could ensure that we could support people who need our help the most. With your unwavering support Shelter could provide advice and practical support to families and individuals like Ray experiencing homelessness.
