I am raising funds to purchase a van that will serve two vital purposes: providing a lifeline for victims of domestic abuse by offering them a cost-free escape with their belongings and supporting my self-employment through tip runs, house moves, and rubbish clearance. Both aspects are equally important - while the rescues will be a crucial part of my mission, my self-employed work will allow me to sustain myself and ensure that, if necessary, I can personally fund rescues to keep this service going.
Why This Matters:
Many victims of domestic abuse feel trapped because they have no means of safely leaving with their belongings. Transport can be costly, and many services don’t account for the emotional and practical aspects of relocating someone in distress. At the same time, affordable, reliable transport services are in demand, and by combining both purposes, I can create a sustainable way to help people while earning a living.
What the Funds Will Cover:
- Van Purchase: £3,000 – A reliable vehicle to carry out this work
- Fuel & Maintenance: £1,500 – To keep services running and ensure victims never have to pay for transport
- Essential Equipment: £500 – Moving blankets, straps, and safety gear to ensure smooth transport for both work and rescue missions
- Insurance & Road Tax: £3,000 – Due to the nature of the business, insurance costs will be higher, but this ensures the van is road-legal and ready for use
Total Goal: £8,000
How You Can Help:
- Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings this mission closer to reality.
- Share: Spreading the word increases the chances of reaching people who can contribute.
- Sponsor: If you're a business or organisation, sponsorship options are available, and I’d love to collaborate.
Transparency & Updates: All donors will receive regular updates on the van purchase and its impact. I’ll document success stories (anonymously, where necessary) to show the real difference your donations make.
This van is more than just a vehicle—it’s a symbol of freedom, support, and opportunity for those who need it most. With your help, we can make sure no one is left without transport when they need it most.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
