£200 needed for a three seater sofa
D, a single parent to a twelve year old boy, has custody of his son since he was a baby, as mum suffers with mental health issues. He works part-time, is on low income and struggles financially. On a recent home visit, it was noted that the place was quite sparse and the sofa in disrepair. A sofa will enable D and his son to relax on movie nights and spend quality father and son time together. It will also add to the environment by making the place homely and welcoming. Thank you very much.

£200 needed for a tumble dryer
A, who has two children, aged twelve and fourteen, is caring for her mum who is recovering from ovarian cancer. The eldest has a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and is having daily nosebleeds, and the youngest has speech dyspraxia and autism. A became homeless last year and was placed in a house with mould. It is taking four days to dry clothes, due to not being able to put the heating on for health.

£200 needed for a fridge freezer
C and the family are struggling financially and in debt due to rising fuel bills and the cost of living. Their fridge freezer was second-hand and lasted many years, but has stopped freezing and cannot be repaired. The family cannot afford to shop locally everyday as costs are tremendous at corner shops. Half-term is coming up so the children won’t get hot meals at school and will only have a sandwich for tea at home. The family is on a low income, therefore is unable to buy in bulk or cook and freeze fresh food.
£200 needed for carpet fitting

This move marks a fresh start, but being on Universal Credit and facing rising living costs, he struggles to make his home warm and comfortable, especially with winter approaching. Your generous donations will help ensure I's home feels cosy and welcoming by Christmas. The carpet is provided for free so he only needs support with the fitting cost. Thank you in advance.
