19. Ellie’s Story Catholic Children’s Society
Ellie is six years old. She lives with her mum, dad and little sister. Three months ago, Ellie's dad lost his job. The family could not pay their rent so they had to leave their flat. Ellie's family stayed with one of her dad's friends for two months. Five of them shared a one bedroom flat.
One night Ellie’s dad's friend told them to leave. They had nowhere to go and had to sleep on the streets that night.
Ellie's Head Teacher found out what was happening and called the Catholic Children's Society the next day.
With money from the Crisis Fund, CCS were able to pay for emergency accommodation for Ellie and her family.
CCS then called the Council for the family. Within days they were given a new home.
However, their new flat had no furniture. With money from the Crisis Fund, CCS were also able to buy the family beds and a washing machine.
