At 26 years old Daniel Marson has lived at his current address with his grand-parents all his life. Although Daniel suffers from severe mental health issues which include agoraphobia, after the death of his Nan he took on the full responsibility of looking after his Grandad (or ‘Grand’ as he called him.) ‘Grands’ health was not good and Daniel stayed by his side looking after him for over six years. He called his Grandad his best friend. Sadly ‘Grand’ suddenly passed away on 21st Feb 2010 leaving Daniel feeling lost and alone. Although he has his family around him all he wants is to stay in the house he grew up and feels safe in. Within days of hearing of ‘Grands’ death the local council have said he is a trespasser in his own home and is to be evicted. Please help us with your support to keep Daniel in is home. Thank You So Very Much.... xx

I have been spending so much time on the phone with the council folks and honestly it just feels like talking into a giant void of paperwork while Daniel sits there worrying himself sick about the front door lock. It is heartbreaking to watch him even though I keep trying to tell him that people are actually listening to our story now. Maybe if I can just get one person in that office to look at the human side of this instead of just the housing codes we might finally see a shift.

common sense needs to prevail here. he cared for his grandad for years and deserves to stay in the only home he knows.

Total disgrace. Leave Daniel alone. The council should be helping people not making them homeless.

Disgusting behavior from the council. Let the poor guy stay in his home he has enough to deal with right now.
