Karen
visited West Cheshire Foodbank after having
been referred by the Citizens Advice Bureau. She had been moved to the local
Refuge from another area following an assault that had resulted in serious and
long term injuries. She was given help with food and was also welcomed by several
members of the church who offered help and support to both Karen and her two
children. The Foodbank supported her until her Benefits were granted, her
housing and children's schooling sorted out and she obtained part time work.
Karen now donates to the
Foodbank whenever she can. “This is my way of repaying the Foodbank for the
help and support I received at the worst time of my life. I don’t know how we
would have coped without them.”
