Won't go in to too much detail but myself and my very vulnerable family are going to be evicted from the home we have rented for years in a couple of months time. We have been good tenants but landlord just wants property back now. We live in London, house prices are ridiculous. We are basically all being forced into separate, unsuitable accommodation. Please pray for us, that a miracle may very soon happen for us so that we can find a cheaper, suitable home especially for my young grandchild. Thank you.

I pray that you will find the strength to
seek out help.
Please approach The citizens advice, Age concern, Charities and your local churches. Do speak to your young grandchild's health visitor and/or school. Someone somewhere will hopefully hold the key to helping your family.

God Bless

Sorry but can’t see how prayers would help, in the same way that Trump’s “ thoughts and prayers” don’t help victims of gun crime!
You need practical help to search for another property, scour the internet, sign on to every housing agency. Check your rights re your tenancy etc. Hope you find somewhere.

Yes, wondergran.
Please take on some of the wonderful suggestions that have been offered by other posters. I second what they say. Good luck.

When I read of this happening to people it breaks my heart. You’ll be in my thoughts and I hope that things take a turn for the better and you can stay together as a family.

My prayers for God’s grace and peace to you and your family. The other practical suggestions are great too so I won’t repeat them but God can do infinitely more.

So sorry to hear of your troubles. Lots of good advice already. I'll be thinking of you and your family flowers

Thinking of you all. Let us know when it is all sorted.

If I believed in prayer I would, I hope some one sees your families plight and helps you.
All my best wishes

Have you tried the Housing Department of your local Council. I believe that if you or members of your family are over 60 or under 16 you are classed as vulnerable and they should be able to help you. Perhaps put you in temporary accommodation until something suitable came up. Good luck.

wondergran Tue 03-Apr-18 13:03:52

I really wasn't expecting any replies so when I read so many loving, kind messages today I felt a bit overwhelmed. Thank you all so much.

Just said a prayer for you and your family Wondergran, make sure you contact your local ward Councillor who might be able to cut through some of the red tape for you.

Magicmaggie Tue 03-Apr-18 13:26:07

Speldnan you say sorry but I don’t see how prayers can help

Adding my prayers too, wondergran, and hoping for a happy outcome for you all.

Ha ha MawBroon love that ! Really funny and so true

LJP1 Tue 03-Apr-18 15:54:20

My thoughts are with you and your family. It's odd how prayers are answered and things turn out well in the end so don't give up hope and keep you family cheerful for the little one's sake.

Please let us know how things go.

Good luck {shamrock}.
