'They can stay with us!'

Postby wendy » 07 Feb 2015, 16:50

Middle-class homeless couple who are forced to sleep in Heathrow are overwhelmed by generosity of strangers offering to help them with rent and even put them up in their spare rooms
Image
Katrina Smith and Alan Lane have been sleeping in the London airport
The couple lost their Dorset home 18 months ago and were left homeless
They appealed local authorities and charities for help but were ignored
After sharing their story, scores of kind strangers have come forward
A Go Fund Me page set up to help the couple raised £2,000 in two hours
The couple were moved to tears when told of the offers this morning

It is good to hear, they have been sorted out with accommodation and a lot of money has been raised for them.

they stayed in bed and breakfast and they have been offered somewhere to stay permanent.
I would have thought they could have found work with accommodation in The Lady
