KINGS LYNN / DOWNHAM MARKET AREA

[Anonymous fox]

Update!

 

This morning I have secured myself a room in a shared accommodation less than a 20 minute walk away from my workplace and train station so I can see my kids. Thanks to the unbelievable generosity on here I've been able to put down a deposit and pay a few weeks rent to see me through until payday.

 

I know I've said it already but thank you all so much for helping me to carry on

Good for you; now keep hold of that positivity and go and grasp life by the horns (from a safe two metre distance).

This place never ceases to amaze. 

 

Well done everyone.

 

Bought back some memories from all of you providing me with support a few years back and literally saving my life.

 

I guess it would be hard to do because of red tape, but a Foxes Talk Emergency Fund would be something amazing to set up for unfortunate situations for people.

 

I'd subscribe to donate a tenner a month to help people out when they hit hard times.

 

Probably not viable, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

 

Really pleased you've got some accommodation sorted @Anonymous fox

 

I saw the Homelessness thread, but just came across this...well bloody played, every single one of you

Wow I'm a little bit overwhelmed. I'm honestly trying to cling on to some pride but not sure how long that will last

Life can be unfairly cruel, and place one in a position of hopelessness, but this could happen to any one of us. Never give up, and never lose your pride. Have faith, and walk tall. Something will turn up, so please, please, have faith, and try to be positive, and don't feel ashamed to accept help from others.

 

God bless you

Great words. 

 

There's a time that we all need help.

 

I saw something on TV the other day and a Police Officer said "It's scary to think we're one paycheck away from being homeless, I know I am."

 

Genuine people should never be ashamed to say "You know what, I'm screwed, I need a hand"

 

You take the help, get back on your feet and pay it forward.

 

So pleased to be part of this community.

Thank you for your kind comments; but really all I did was be in the right place at the right time and put the first bit of action in place. Often all it takes is the right suggestion and people will quickly get behind things. I strongly believe that people are innately good and I also believe we do have an excellent community on here.

There were a great many that contributed though; and it was just looking for practical solutions and finding some cash to solve the short term issue; so many people have made it clear they care and offered to help in any way they can and I'd like to think that those offers may be taken up at some point; even if its a friendly word of advice, a coffee or beer shared if someone is in the area or just a chat over the phone if needed.

 

That's the last I'd really like to say anyway on my involvement. I did what I could but so did so many others. It was a community effort and we got the right result in the short term and hopefully it builds for a good medium and long term also. It was far from all being me.

 

As for not being able to tag me; absolutely no idea. I've been banned and unbanned so often that I feel like perhaps I have a special 'in limbo' status; a slice of no man's land all of my own.

Yes thanks mate. Moved into a room in a shared accommodation place. Not far from work and close to the train station so I can see the kids. Still feel a bit fragile but slowly building myself back up.

Thank you Deb!

Not gonna lie the life of shared accommodation is going to take some getting used to! I'm trying to spend as much time at work as possible at the moment. Mainly to earn enough money to eventually start renting a place of my own but also just to not spend time there.

 

Still in a far better place than I was last week though so not complaining.  Thank you for asking

I spent a few months in shared accomodation and as a very private person I found it incredibly hard to get used to. Two tips (1) buy some decent headphones. It helped me completely switch off and often feel like I was in my own space and (2) try to embrace it. I was alot happier a couple of months in, when I  finally started to just pretend I was in a sitcom and I actually talked to the crazy lady who always moaned at me about using the wrong type of dishcloth and I tried to talk to the even crazier guy who refused to speak a word to me. I actually quite enjoyed it 😆 

Good luck with it, it's the first step on your journey
