Recipient story
Sandra recently lost her husband, housing told her to evict, now has little to no furniture
Christmas 2025
GIVIT
Following the passing of her husband, Sandra was initially advised by Housing that she would need to vacate her home, as her name was not listed on the lease. Facing homelessness, Sandra was forced relinquish all her belongings, including her furniture and essential household items.
After several appeals, Housing has now granted permission for Sandra to remain in her family home. However, she is now facing the challenge of rebuilding her life with almost nothing. At the moment, she is sleeping on a blow-up mattress and has no other furniture. One of the things she misses most is being able to have her grandchildren over for dinner, something that brought her a lot of joy and connection.
To help Sandra restore warmth and comfort to her home. We are seeking support in the form of essential furniture, household goods, or financial assistance to help Sandra re-establish a safe, functional, and dignified living environment.
