Urgent appeal for two destitute young women refugees

Positive Action in Housing | 28.04.2004 12:44 | Migration

This is an urgent appeal to help two fellow human beings who are absolutely destitute.

Kaltuma Ahmed (22 years old) & Shamsa Noor (22 years old), are two young Muslim women from Somalia. Shamsa’s two brothers were killed in Somalia. Both girls are extremely distressed. They have been evicted from their NASS accommodation EVEN THOUGH THEIR CASE IS GOING TO JUDICIAL REVIEW. They have no entitlement to state support whatsoever.

Dear Friend,

URGENT APPEAL FOR TWO DESTITUTE YOUNG WOMEN REFUGEES

Kaltuma and Shamsa have also had all NASS support stopped and have no money to buy basics such as food and toiletries. We are helping them and others like them who have been made destitute despite the fact that their asylum claim is still ongoing.

Do you have a spare room or space?

One of our long standing supporters has today kindly given Kaltuma and Shamsa a room to stay in until next Monday but they have nowhere to go from then, do you or anyone you know have a space where they could stay? If you think you or someone you know has a space they are willing to let them have even for a week at a time then please could you call Clare now on 0141 353 2220.
