Malachi Tyler told The Argus they "don't feel safe" going out alone as a blind person at their current home in a large town in Kent. Malachi, who uses they/them pronouns, is very excited about their "new chapter" and hopes their move to the Sussex coast will help them find community and gain more independence. Malachi told The Argus they had applied to a number of charities for grants but were turned down because the amount they need is too large. The teenager needs to purchase a smart washing machine, fridge freezer, and dishwasher – all of which come with high price tags. A smart washing machine costs between £269 and £349, while the fridge freezer they need is priced between £599 and £699.
