Tahj-Li and Nashstacia spent most of their life in the UK, but inhumane immigration policies forced them to pay extortionate fees for years just so they can renew their leave to remain.

When Covid19 hit, Jeremiha lost his job and only source of income. For months he had to rely on charities to feed their children, often going hungry while debt was mounting, because of unfair immigration policies.

When I get worried, or when my son asks me not to go to work because he’s scared that I will die, I remember: if I don’t do my job, we won’t beat the virus.

I was 66 and had always worked, but if I had retired from my job at a local school my pension would have not been enough to live on. At Praxis they explained what options I had, and made sure I could escape destitution and retire.

I came to the UK in 1973, but because of Windrush I became homeless and got charged £54000 for my cancer treatment. With Praxis I could speak with the media about my situation: it felt like a roller coaster, but it worked.

Two years ago I lost my job because of issues with my immigration status. I felt like I was facing a wall, I had no hope in front of me, I could only think about my problems. Thanks to Praxis this is now part of my past.
