Our Journey of Hope and Compassion:

We are trying to honour Our Daughter's Legacy in Helping the Homeless


The pain of losing a loved one is unimaginable, a heavy burden that no words can fully describe. Last year, our family faced the unimaginable when we lost our beloved daughter. She was a kind and caring girl, always eager to make a positive impact on the world around her. In the wake of our tragedy, we found solace in the decision to honour her memory by continuing her legacy of kindness she left behind.


Our daughter was one of kindness and most compassion people I know. She had a heart that overflowed with empathy, especially for those who were less fortunate. She devoted much of her time to helping the homeless, recognising the struggles they faced on a daily basis. Inspired by her spirit, our family and friends made a collective decision to carry on her mission of making a difference in the lives of the homeless.


In the spirit of our daughter's giving nature, we began organising events to provide warmth and comfort to those experiencing homelessness. We initiated projects to create warm items such as blankets, scarves, and hats, offering a tangible source of warmth during challenging times. The act of creating these items not only served as a therapeutic outlet for us but also symbolised the enduring warmth of our daughter's memory.


Understanding the basic needs of those living on the streets, we launched collection drives to gather essential items such as toiletries and non-perishable food items. These drives aimed to address immediate needs, offering a glimmer of hope to those facing adversity. The outpouring of support from our community was overwhelming, emphasising the power of collective compassion in making a meaningful impact.


Participation in Charity Runs: Motivated by our daughter's commitment to making a difference, we actively participated in charity runs to raise funds for organisations dedicated to mental health. Running became a metaphor for resilience and the pursuit of a brighter future, echoing our determination to turn tragedy into an opportunity for positive change. Our efforts culminated in the remarkable achievement of raising over £16,000, a testament to the generosity and empathy of our supporters.


Supporting Mind and Young Minds: Mind and Young Minds emerged as the focal points of our fundraising endeavours. These two charities, dedicated to mental health awareness and support, resonated deeply with our family. Mind's commitment to promoting mental well-being and Young Minds' focus on supporting young individuals facing mental health challenges aligned seamlessly with our values. The funds raised were channelled towards these organisations, contributing to their vital work in the community.

Over £20,000 will have been raised if we were to add in money that was donated directly to our choosen charities.


We are still continuing with our fundraising efforts . Further runs and events in the pipeline.


In the face of profound grief, our family chose not to succumb to despair but instead to channel our pain into purpose. Our journey of helping the homeless, organizing charity events, and supporting mental health organizations has become a beacon of hope. We have discovered that even in the darkest moments, the light of compassion can guide us towards healing.

As we continue to navigate this journey, we are reminded that our daughter's legacy lives on through the lives we touch and the positive change we create. Through our collective efforts, we strive to be a source of inspiration for others facing adversity, showing that even in the depths of sorrow, kindness has the power to transform lives. Together, we can honour the memory of our daughter and, in doing so, contribute to a world where compassion and empathy prevail.
