Jo's Nelson Trust Women's Centre Emergency Fund
Jolene Fear is raising money for Nelson Trust
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
At The Nelson Trust Women's Centre in Gloucestershire we support women and young girls who are living in some really difficult circumstances. Our Emergency fund is currently empty & we'd very much appreciate any donations of any amount to help us replenish it.
Some examples of the things we use this for are:
Emergency accommodation costs for those that need a place of safety, travel costs to out of county safe houses, bus fares to appointments, new underwear, clothes, shoes, food, basic mobile phones to stay in touch with safety & support networks, mobile credit and so much more..... our team work extremely hard to source these things for free but more often this is not possible and so an Emergency fund gives us the opportunity to meet the needs of some very vulnerable women & girls. xx
Today our team have had to leave work knowing that two of our most vulnerable young women, one being pregnant, are homeless this weekend and we only had enough money left in our Emergency fund to pay for one of them to have one night in a B&B. That's an absolutely heartbreaking decision to make! And one that is becoming all too often. If you'd buy one of those women a coffee, please think about making a donation instead to our Emergency fund. We desperately need your help! Thanks for reading, Jo xx 😘
