Story
This year I befriended a creative young Spoken Word artist onlne called Michelle. Michelle has recently fallen on difficult times and has become homeless through an unfortunate series of events. I'd really like to help Michelle gets the support she needs and save a young women from the danger of the streets.
Michelle writes amazing, heart wrenching poetry and spoken word about her youth spent in institutions due to her mental health issues.
Michelle has a good heart, she's made mistakes in her past due to her mental health, but has turned this around by seeking help and to try and help others. She inspires and supports many through her Youtube channel Michelle Proby Official, link below;

Michelle recently moved to Bradford from her home in Hull seeking a fresh start. This week she reported an assault by one of her housemates to the police. As the investigation is ongoing she felt unsafe to return home. She has also been struggling to get the mental help support she needs.
As she left her accomodation voluntarily, she is deemed to be intentionally homeless and and therefore will not be rehoused by the council. As she is new to the area of Bradford and because of her past problems with her mental helath this also goes against her when seeking accomodation, not even a hostel will take her.
I am here because I can't give her somewhere to live, and I want to help her find somewhere safe long term. The money I'd like to raise of £1,000 is to cover the cost of a privately rented room, within a female only house preferrably.
I anticipate that £1,000 will cover a deposit of upto £500 and the rest will pay for up to £500 to cover the first months rent at least. Any remaining will cover any essentials she may need such as food, furniture and toiletries.
Should Michelle be provided with housing by the council or local authrority before this fundraiser is over, and the funds no longer required for her housing support needs, the funds left will be donated to MIND The Mental Health Charity.
When the fundraising is over, I would send any monies to cover Michelle's accomodation needs directly to the account of the new landlord upon verifying everything is safe and above board, or her support worker.
All the information given in this story is true to the best of my knowlege and I thank you for taking the time to read this. Even if you are not able to help with a donation, please leave a message of support as I'm sure it will raise Michelle's spirits in this difficult time.
With thanks,
Keeley

I came to know Michelle through Spoken Word events. We have been friends for the past year and I recently bought one of her wonderful poetry books.
