A Legacy of a Hopeful Future: Case study

Your support can change someone’s life for the better.

Sarah* and her son visited Oasis in early 2023. She was placed in accommodation in Cardiff but due to her anxiety and low mood, Sarah found it very difficult to leave her room. When she arrived at Oasis, she was very upset and felt lonely and overwhelmed. One of our Caseworkers sat with her in a quiet room and listened to her situation and emphasised that she was now in a safe place. 

Both Sarah and her son hadn’t eaten properly since they arrived in the UK, and because we serve a daily lunch free of charge at Oasis, we were able to provide her with some food. The Oasis staff member spent many hours with her and her son, and by the end of their time together she was much calmer and appreciative of the time, support and empathy she received. She was given a pack of women’s toiletries and some food for her son. 

The next day, Sarah and her son were given advice on what groups and social support we can provide at Oasis, both her and her son ate a meal and her son was shown the play area, where he started to interact with other children. We provided her with information on local schools, a solicitors appointment was set up for her, she was added to the Oasis WhatsApp social groups and she was given information on local support groups. 

Now Sarah and her son attend a weekly music and storytelling group and she regularly comes into Oasis for a variety of activities and support. She looks far more relaxed and feels that since receiving the support and compassion at Oasis she can now hope for a more positive future for her and her son.
