About Miracles Charity
Miracles supports children and their families living in poverty and helps them through crisis situations such as serious illness.
Being told your child has a life changing or life limiting illness is devastating. If you live in poverty, it can literally rip your family apart. Additional financial burdens can quickly mount up and become overwhelming – sending the family into irreversible debt.
We are there to help relieve those burdens. We can help solve the immediate crisis through rapid and practical support. We can take away some of the stress and pressure they are under and create space for the family to focus on recovery, on their children and on dealing with the day to day issues of living in poverty.
We offer two support mechanisms:
• Crisis funding – 24 hour turnaround – practical and rapid support for families who have no one else to turn to. We provide grants that cover a broad spectrum of issues - from hospital travel and accommodation, food, clothing, additional medical equipment, through to helping to halt evictions, reconnect house utilities, home medical needs and house adaptions (such as a new washing machine). We even occasionally fill the fridge with food so a family can eat well.
• Feed London is our response to the food crisis taking place amongst London children, living in poverty and facing significant hardship and illness, over the school holidays, when food poverty is at its most critical.
We launched Feed London at Christmas 2020 and since then we have run 9 projects over each of the main school holidays delivering enough ingredients for 36,000+ individual meals to over 3,600+ London children – given out 1,230+ supermarket vouchers (£80 each) and donated 3,500+ creative kits.
