A devastated man has been told he needs to leave his childhood home of 51 years by March 20 - despite his family and neighbours warning that he won't cope well with the move. Darren Evans, 51, was informed he would need to leave the three-bedroom council house on Heol-Yr-Odyn in Caerau, Cardiff after his brother and father passed away just months apart.
Darren's brother David died suddenly in July 2021, aged 53 and their father, also named David, died in November of the same year, Wales Online reports. Darren, who has lived in the house his entire life, has now been given a deadline to leave while his mental health is said to have deteriorated to the point of feeling suicidal after his double loss.
His family claim he was given only four days' notice on March 9 2023 to move out and into a one-bedroom flat by March 13, which is not suitable for his needs. Darren, who can't read or write properly, often has a friend or family member stay over to help him but that would prove difficult with only one bedroom in the property.
