Aliyah’s life changed drastically when she left her home to escape domestic abuse. Seeking safety and a fresh start, she found temporary accommodation in a refuge and with support, she secured a rental property, hoping to rebuild her life. However, the financial burden of furnishing her new home and establishing a stable environment quickly became overwhelming.
Despite her determination, Aliyah’s finances began spiralling out of control and she found her debts unmanageable. The relentless stress took a toll on her mental health, making it increasingly difficult to see a way forward.
Having heard about the Charity from her employer, Aliyah reached out to GroceryAid who were able to offer support. Aliyah received a financial grant, meaning she could feel more financially secure as well as guiding her to online resources, offering debt advice and practical tips to regain control over her finances. With the help of GroceryAid, she began to see a brighter future.
“Thank you so much, I cannot tell you or express my appreciation of how much this means; every month it was just getting worse. The impact on my mental health has been devastating as I couldn’t see a way out. It has not only saved me but also given me the opportunity to get ahead of my financial responsibilities and get myself on track.”
