£200 needed for a bed frame and mattress
X and her son were moved into a temporary studio flat five years ago. He is now twenty and they are both sleeping in the lounge on camp beds. They both struggle with their mental health, which makes leaving the flat difficult, so means they are in the same small space most of the time. X has come to our Christians Against Poverty debt centre for help with her debts and to get back on her feet. This money would go to a bed frame and mattress for her son.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
P and her family are Iraqi refugees who had to flee a horrific trauma. They are settling in York and have been offered a completely unfurnished home.

£200 needed for a cooker
Please help fund a cooker for our client who is a single woman with considerable disabilities that impact her daily life. She has been without the means to cook a proper meal for some time, and this would make a world of difference to her. Our client is waiting to be rehoused to a smaller property as hers is too large and has become unmanageable for her. This lady is trying her best to stay in control of her finances and life, but the rising costs are really making things hard for her.

£150 needed for a single bed with a mattress
A has been referred to Romero to ask for our help to purchase a single bed for his daughter. He is a single dad to six children and two of them are currently sharing a single bed. Dad relies on benefit as he is unable to work, due to caring for his children, and does not have any spare money to buy a bed. Please help us to support A at this time so that his children can have a restful night's sleep, feeling refreshed each morning for school and improving health and wellbeing.
£200 needed for a bike, helmet and lock
This applicant is an Afghan refugee who is attending college and volunteering with a refugee organisation in the community. A bike would help them to attend education and different charity organisations, overall supporting their integration into the wider community. It would also help the individual financially, as there is not currently any provision available for support with transport costs. Lastly, a bike would offer them exercise which would have a positive impact on their mental wellbeing. We are also asking for funds for a helmet and lock.
£190 needed for a washing machine
B has been referred to Romero to ask for support in helping her purchase a replacement washing machine. B is a single mum to four school aged children, who works part-time, but struggles weekly to make ends meet. Her washing machine has broken and she cannot afford to buy a replacement, so is currently washing her children's clothes by hand, but this is very difficult. Please can you help us to support B to purchase the washing machine she needs so that she can reduce the amount of stress she is under?
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
R was the victim of sexual assault in 2022 and the resulting trauma has left them unable to manage independently. They lost their tenancy and moved into a Restore house. We have supported them to access therapies and long-term support, and they have now been offered a council tenancy. R is still struggling day to day with their mental health conditions and needs support to get set up well in their new flat, so this can be the fresh start they need to move forward. Please can you help them with a fridge freezer?
