    Story

    Hi, guys have been homeless now in the car park for over a month I have been offered a job with a large industrial company in Cradley the only issue is housing the following is a comment from Phil Tromans the director of the company

    Tony Lavell

    I met Tony a month ago when he had a meeting with David Vickers. I’m a Director for a Large Uk industrial business and have a site in Cradley. I said that as soon as an opening came available I would be in touch. I’ve been to see Tony tonight and told him the vacancy is there for him. He is such a nice guy and really up for it. He will be trained on all the plant - multi-skilled. Only problem is that we are a large company and Policy dictates that he must have a formal address and obviously a decent nights sleep and good welfare facilities. I’ve emailed David and he is doing his utmost to find accommodation. I have also emailed James Morris.

    If there is anything anyone can do to help raise the urgency of getting Tony accommodation so I can secure his employment it would be appreciated. You may know someone who has a flat etc.. that are looking for a tenant. He would get paid the end of April (if we can get him in early April) and every month following. He just needs this opportunity. Is there anyone out there that can get to higher levels than me within our local councils etc..

    Tony left home in his teens and ended up in hostels. He lived in various ones for ten years. He got sick of the hassle from alcoholics and druggies and left a month ago. He is a nice polite young man. There is a lack of 1 and 2 bed council housing so despite best efforts from Tony and local Councellors nothing is available. If we can raise a few months rent he can get this job and be sorted.

    Sherry.

    Thanks in advance

    Phil

      Hi Everyone, Good news Tony is now housed. A nice landlord saw we were looking for a place for him and offered him a nice decent sized bedsit. We didn't have a guarantor, so we gave him a good deposit, which Tony could use if he decides to move somewhere bigger in the future. I am just getting all the furniture and items he needs to get going. He will get his first pay packet at the end of the month, so he will be able to support himself soon. He is very happy and grateful for all the help he has received. Thank you to you all xxxxxxxxxxxx

      As with all homeless people, its hard to know how to help. What it clearly takes is for one person to co-ordinate all us 'would be' helpers to make a REAL difference. Sherry you are a real-life HERO.
