Iʼve raised £5,080 to repair Joseph-Edwin’s home. Your generosity would make a very beautiful young boy secure and safe at night.

Story
Joseph-Edwin is 9 years old. He lives with his mother and four year old sister. His father became sick and no longer lives with them. The family have no income and rely on help from the local church.
We visited him at home and chatting to his mother, we found out that she hardly sleeps at night because the roof on the dilapidated house they live in is so unsafe. She lives in fear that it will fall in on them one night when they are sleeping.
If you’d like to give up your morning cup of coffee one day and donate a small amount towards this, we would be eternally grateful. Your generosity would make a very beautiful young boy secure and safe at night and would make life just a little bit easier for his young mum, bravely looking after two children on her own.
I we are fortunate enough to have a surplus we'll be donating additional funds to the Venkatramen Trust. Thank you to all x

6 years agoWe're continuing to work with the charity to organise a quote for the building work for Joseph-Edwin's home. Progress is a little slow but we will keep in touch to let you know how the project is progressing. Your generous contributions will go a long way to fund the work. Donations are still coming in and if we are fortunate enough to have a surplus we'll be donating additional funds to the Venkatramen Trust. Thank you to all x
