Read all storiesWe are a family of six who were living in a very overcrowded flat with damp and mould. It was very stressful trying to look after my 88-year-old mum and 10-year-old son who has autism and ADHD. I hit rock bottom and didn't know where to go and then I heard about Kineara from my daughter's school. I didn't think anyone could help but from that day Queenie (Kineara practitioner) changed our lives forever. We can't thank Kineara enough for everything you have done and are still doing to support our family. You went above and beyond to help. You took on a family that was at rock bottom and have got us somewhere to live and helped get my mum's health back up. There aren't any words to explain what or how you have done it, but you did.
As a private renter in my 30s with no dependents, I was not receiving the support I urgently needed. Trevor (Kineara practitioner) became a lifeline as he regularly checked in on me, supported me through my lowest moments, and stepped in to speak directly with Southwark Council's advisors when I could not. Because of Kineara, I was finally seen, heard, and given access to legal support via the Southwark Law Centre. With their ongoing guidance and your invaluable community expertise, I was able to win my case against my landlord, who had served me two Section 21 notices within four months. Throughout this process, Trevor continued to support me mentally and emotionally and his calls kept me calm, focused, and clear-headed through every stage. I am eternally grateful for what Kineara has done for me.
What a blessing Kineara has been to our family and that you still are. We don't know where we would be without meeting you and getting all the help and support. You and all the work you do are so much appreciated, and we can't thank you enough.
