It’s fast approaching Valentines day and we thought we would share the love and keep you updated as to what we have been up to since the last update 6 weeks ago
Since then we have approved another 28 grants !
We have now approved over 150 grants since we started Lashes. This has only been possible with all of your love and support. It would be too long to list everyone we have helped, but here are some examples over the past few weeks
- We have helped a family with specialist items for their severely autistic child to create a sensory room
- A lady who due to stage 3 cancer has been unable to work, and we have helped with buying her a wig to give her some confidence after her treatment
- We have worked with the furniture project, another local charity, and gave some vouchers for a single mother who has fled the home due to domestic abuse and helped buy some essential house items
- A local volunteer who always goes out of her way to support the community who has become unwell, affected her financially and gave her a weekend break to say thank you to help get her back on her feet
- Supported 3 teenage girls and 1 teenage boy who are all having big challenges with their mental health with counselling and specialist support
- Counselling support for someone who lost their partner to suicide
- Support for JT Rice School PTA to build a hub to help parents and families with donated uniforms, a tuck shop to raise money and give the children new skills and a book exchange
- Purchased a keyboard for a mental health support group that meets each week and also supported for another local friendship group on some of the rent for the room that they hire so more people can attend which will help loneliness
- Working with local care service, we supported a family who have a child with cerebral palsy with a washing machine as theirs broke and they are really struggling with all of the additional costs that looking after the disabled child brings
- Support to help towards a stairlift for an ex-serviceman who was injured in service and has been unable to work and raise the full funds to get one
We continue to be blown away by all of the support to the foundation. Your donations, monthly donors, major sponsors, donations to Lashes HQ and everyone who buys something, is helping us to help others…Just like Evie did.. Thank you
