A young girl with a baby is moving in near us
She had nothing but a bed
She has had a tough life and wants to have a new start in a new Town
She doesn't qualify for a Social grant or loan
Because she works 16 hours

So we put the word our and
in 24 hours we have sorted her out between us

Makes me so proud of the people we know :-D :-D

She said how could she repay everybody's kindness
and we said as you replace things for your own
Give what you don't want to somebody else in need

She is a lovely girl have not met her baby yet no doubt I will soon :-D :-D

JoyBoroAngel - Smashing!

Caring is more than sharing; it can be survival itself and a hell of a nice feeling to boot. Well done.

Everybody Pulling together for her Dermot
Makes me so proud of them all

It will give me a buzz
Just knowing when she walks in that house
she has things to call her own
and make it a comfortable place of safety for her child :-D :-D

Wow the benefits system has got tough if a single mother who's only income comes from 16 hrs pw wages can't have help getting basic furniture in for her and the baby.

JoyBoroAngel

JoyBoroAngel Report 3 Feb 2017 18:21

They have totally restructured the Benefits system

I know people with no legs
who cant claim PiPs or DLA
Maybe you should watch
I Daniel Blake Caroline -- Its an eye opener

But she is sorted now

Edit
Some body has messaged me and Said she may qualify for a small grant
When I check the net it didn't say anything about ie Tax credits
so maybe she can try Fingers crossed :-D

I don't understand the system myself
so its all news to me :-0 :-0

Kay
we sometimes help a lady with a 6 year old
Just the odd few hours here and there
We do it for free just to help her out
He come in here like a breath of fresh air
He calls us nanny and granddad Zoo
we also have Baby Satan to who is 11
When Stray is at work

So what's one more Little angel
Its years since I pushed a pushchair round the shops
