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.

How lovely the majority of responses have been so kind and full of helpful advice, that's what we're here for.

I’ll say an extra one for you tonight x

My prayers go with all the others too.

Ask everyone and anyone you can think of for help; someone somewhere will know the right person who can help.

I believe firmly in miracles, but I also believe that sometimes they occur because we bump into the person who can help us.

Thinking of you and including you all in my prayers.

Try the local YMCA they may be able to help. I do hope everyone ‘s thoughts and prayers do the trick for you all.

This is every tenant's worst nightmare. Yes I will include all your intentions in my daily prayers and trust that there will be a good outcome for you. God bless.

Good Luck Wondergran..sending warm positive thoughts..

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}.

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

More prayers Wondergran, the situation of impending homelessness is so worrying (been there), God bless you all

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

I’ve just said a prayer ?

sp1953 Tue 03-Apr-18 13:23:03

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.

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.

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.

muddynails Tue 03-Apr-18 12:04:39

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