One small act of care, for a family starting again.

Today, we supported a woman who had recently fled domestic abuse with her three young children. She’d just been given the keys to a council flat here in Coventry — a new beginning, but one without furniture, food, or even the basics. Her only formal support was a social worker.

She was doing her very best in impossible circumstances.

So we offered a £100 Lifestyle Gift Card.

No fanfare. No questions. Just something immediate to help meet her family’s most pressing needs — whether that’s a hot meal, something for the children, or just a reminder that she matters.

We’re not sharing this to centre ourselves or the Foundation. We’re sharing it to acknowledge the quiet courage of someone taking the hardest step — to leave, to protect, to start again. It’s not a full solution, but sometimes even a small gesture can make the road feel a little less lonely.

If you’ve ever supported the Foundation — by donating, sharing, or simply believing in what we do — this is the kind of moment your kindness makes possible.

And to the woman we helped today — if you ever read this:

We believe you. 
We see your strength. 
You’re not alone anymore. 
You never should have been.
