What Our Community Says

"During one of the toughest periods of my life, when I was in hospital and feeling completely overwhelmed, WerentBornRich were there for me in a way no one else was. They advocated for me when I didn't have the strength or words to advocate for myself. They made sure my concerns were taken seriously, helped me communicate with doctors, and gave me the confidence to speak up about my care. Their support made a huge difference to my hospital experience, and I genuinely don't know how I would have managed without them. I'm forever grateful for their kindness, compassion, and commitment."

"I can honestly say that WerentBornRich has been a lifeline for me. When I was struggling with my health and facing difficulties in hospital, they stepped in and supported me with advocacy, making sure my voice was heard and my needs were met when I felt invisible. They also helped me with my PIP forms, which felt overwhelming to do alone, and supported me with my housing situation when I didn't know where to turn. Their team was kind, patient, and truly understood the challenges I was facing. I love this organisation and everything they stand for. The work they do is so important, and I recommend them to absolutely everyone I know who might need support. They genuinely care and it shows in every interaction. Thank you for everything!"

"When I needed a hip replacement, I felt completely stuck, in pain, unable to move around properly, and with no idea how I'd ever afford the surgery. That's when WerentBornRich stepped in and completely changed my life. They helped me raise over £6,000 so I could finally get the surgery I desperately needed. Thanks to their support, I was able to go ahead with the operation, and I'm now walking confidently without any walking aids for the first time in years. What touched me the most is that even after the surgery, they didn't just disappear like most organisations. They stayed in touch, checked in on my recovery, and continued to offer support. No other charity has shown me that kind of genuine commitment. I'm so grateful for everything WerentBornRich has done for me, I can't thank them enough."
