After losing his job when his company downsized, Ehijie found it difficult to provide financial stability for his family. While taking on freelance and manual work where possible, he relied heavily on his spouse's income as rising living costs and household bills put increasing pressure on the family budget.
After being signposted to Lightning Reach by the Chemical Engineers Benevolent Fund, Ehijie completed an application and received £450 in financial support. He found the process straightforward and appreciated being able to access help during a particularly challenging period.
The grant arrived at a crucial time, helping Ehijie cover his children's school fees and easing the immediate financial strain on his family. Knowing those costs were covered gave him peace of mind and eased some of the financial pressure he had been facing.With that burden lifted, he was able to focus on finding stable employment and providing for his family.
"I'm able to pay my children's school fees for this term. I'm so thankful the money came when it did."
