Practical support such as emergency food, school uniforms and energy top ups
Story of Betsy
Betsy had been street homeless in London for several years before returning to Leicester to be with her family. However, the relationship with the family broke down because of Betsy's drug addiction and mental health condition. Thereafter she found herself homeless and in a physically abusive relationship with a man who solicited women for money. She was referred over to multiple agencies by the police after an incident that led her to being admitted to hospital due to the severity of her injuries. It is then that Betsy was referred to the Zinthiya Trust by her social worker.
Our case workers worked with her to make an application to various funds to clear old energy debts as well as obtain white goods and furniture for her new home. We also helped her with setting up her utility accounts whilst looking at where we could possibly reduce them. We continue to work with Betsy providing ongoing support to help her with budgeting and energy saving measures. We have also referred her to our domestic abuse case workers for ongoing emotional support.
Comments from Betsy
“I am so grateful for charity's like The Zinthiya Trust. I was called the same day the referral was sent over and was treated with dignity and respect and it is very much appreciated. I am now looking forward to starting my new life in my new home and my mental health has improved massively. So thank you to all involved.”
The lottery will help us continue to support many individuals like Betsy but also provide emergency accommodation to women who are fleeing abuse and have no recourse to public funding.
