This week, we’d like to help a 19 year old girl called Abbie and her two-year-old daughter.
Abbie and her toddler had been living with her mum, but there was ongoing domestic abuse in their home. After witnessing a physical fight between some family members, Abbie called the police and, as a result, her family asked her to leave. It wasn’t safe for her and her little girl to stay there in any case, so Abbie took her daughter and left.
Since then, they've been homeless and relying on staying with friends while they waited for somewhere to live.
They have now moved into a new property, but they need help. Abbie managed to get a bed for her daughter and a sofa, but the stairs are bare and dangerous, and there are lots of household essentials she still needs.
Abbie and her daughter have had a really tough start together and we'd like to do something kind for them.
