Kardinell was only 6 when his life was pulled out from under his feet – and his mum, Angela, faced every parent’s worst nightmare.
“How do you explain to a child, who’s gone to school in the morning that they’ve got nowhere to live when they come home?”
The family were evicted from their private rental accommodation. For over a year they were homeless, going from place to place, sleeping on sofas.
No family should have to go through that. But sadly, many do.
“I just didn’t feel like it was ever going to end, and then one phone call changed everything. ”
Thankfully, Angela got in touch with Shelter Scotland. We helped them find a place in social housing – and move towards a better future.
Home is everything. But right now, 1.5 million people in Scotland are living in unstable or insecure conditions.
Every day, we fight for home. When you leave a gift in your will to us, you help families like Angela and Kardinell escape homelessness. You build social homes. You change the law. You fight for something fairer, and you help people take back their future.
Give people real change. Leave a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland.
