So we did it. We begged bullied and roasted you till you came up with over two thousand pounds for our Buzzbnk campaign which you can see here, to put a woman who has suffered violence and trauma into decent sustainable housing.
The woman is in her late forties and recently deported from the Caribbean having served a prison sentence for overstaying her Visa. She has recently undergone a mastectomy and recovering, we'll know the outcome of the surgery in 7 or 8 weeks.
The first step is to provide decent housing and tomorrow she is coming to see us and meet our advocate who will work with her for the next twelve months to secure the support and services she needs and in order to begin and sustain her desistance journey.
Thanks again for your amazing support. You can still contribute via PayPal or standing order to help cover the costs of the one to one support. The first milestone reached on Buzzbnk enables Kazuri to pay a month's rent and deposit to secure sustainable housing for her.
We'll keep you updated about her progress.
We got this from one of our favorite people this morning, accelerated art trauma practitioner, Marion Green.
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."

Thank you for your support!
