Doreen Ahmed is one of hundreds Humans MCR will help this winter
It's one of the first things 77-year old Doreen Ahmed says as we sit down at the kitchen table of her Moston home. Doreen lives alone, and struggles to get out and about by herself. Her children have mostly left Manchester, and as she became more and more isolated, figuring out how she could afford to get healthy, nutritious food delivered to her door was becoming a worry.
But thanks to one very special charity, she hasn't. Doreen has started to receive weekly food parcels from Humans MCR, a Blackley-based food drive which delivers to needy residents across the region. It means she can get access to healthy, nutritious food without worrying about how she will pay for her transport to the supermarket and back, and how she can afford the food itself.
She was put in touch with Humans MCR after being given a list of helpful phone numbers and websites at a Caritas social group she attends. The 77-year-old told the M.E.N she wouldn't have thought to even try had she not been pointed in the right direction. Once she reached out to Humans MCR, she said she received a food parcel within just a few days.
The Moston-born great-grandmother is now two weeks into receiving parcels from Humans MCR, and said she's been nothing but impressed by the service. "They're lovely," she added. "It's like just going out to the shop. The food looks fresh."
