What your fundraising can make possible
Obert had worked in engineering for years, but when his health deteriorated, he had to stop working and could no longer afford his rent. He ended up staying with a friend and sometimes sleeping in his car, while also dealing with serious kidney problems and starting dialysis.
Turning Tides supported Obert through different stages of accommodation, helped him get to hospital appointments and worked with the council to help him find a home where he could continue his dialysis.
When he finally moved into his own flat, he had very little. Turning Tides helped provide the essentials he needed to start again, including a bed, fridge freezer, washing machine and cooker.
Today, Obert says: “My life at the moment is actually back to normal.” Obert’s story shows why your support matters. It’s not just about providing a roof. It’s about giving someone the practical and ongoing support they need to move forward and rebuild their life.
