£200 needed for gas and electric vouchers and bus tickets
C is a single lady who lost her only child a while ago. She has been struggling with ill health and been unable to work. Due to this, C has fallen short on her gas and electric bill as she needs to keep warm at the moment. She is getting better now, but has been advised to go back to work on a part-time basis. C is now worried that she will not be able to sort the arrears from her utility bill. She needs support for the debt, as well as bus tickets to get her to work for this month until she gets her next payment.
£150 needed for food and warm clothing
K was released from prison just before Christmas and was given just £96 to live on until his benefits payments are sorted out, which may take up to six weeks. He is currently homeless and spending much of his time out in the cold. We would like to provide him with supermarket gift cards so that he can buy food and also some warm clothing. Your help to assist K through this difficult time would be much appreciated.
£200 needed for an electric cooker
J is a disabled single mum with four children who had to be rehomed before Christmas because of domestic abuse. Her cooker has now broken and she is having to manage with a slow cooker and a microwave. Mum does not have enough money to buy another cooker as she is managing on Universal Credit, Disability Living Allowance and Personal Independence Payment. J would love to be able to give her children a better diet and would be very grateful for people’s support in this.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
Mum, dad and their son were homeless for three months. Mum lost her live-in job through constructive dismissal. They now have a house, but there are no carpets. Mum now has a job but is on a low wage and is costing her £50 per week to get to work. Her husband cannot work due to COP (cryptogenic organizing pneumonia) and other health issues. They have applied for benefits and are paying off debts by an arrangement. We are providing food bank support. We can provide carpets free of charge, but need to fund the fitting charges. With your kind donations, we wish to help.
£200 needed for family clothing
RA, the mom in a family of five in Wolverhampton, has recently got in touch with the St Vincent de Paul centre for help with clothing. The family hasn't been able to find anything suitable for their needs at local clothing banks or through local appeals. These Kurdish asylum seekers, with children aged thirteen, seven and six, have have very little money to spend on essentials. We want to be able to purchase clothing - especially as they have little in the way of winter clothing. Thank you for any support you can give.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
D is in a relationship with a man who treats her very badly. He is refusing to move out of her flat, does not pay towards any bills or food, and D is frightened of him. We have managed to get her housing provider to offer her support in having him removed. D is living on her nerves at the moment and is desperate for him to go. She suffers with her mental health, is very vulnerable and is unable to work. D`s fridge freezer has not worked for some time and she cannot afford to replace it.
£100 needed for mattress
This mother of four moved to our town in December after leaving a women's refuge. While her family and friends have managed to secure beds for the four children, mum herself has been sleeping on the floor. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, we have sourced a bed frame, but she still needs a mattress. We are appealing for £100 to help purchase this essential item. Your donation will make a world of difference, ensuring J has a proper place to rest after caring for her family.
£200 needed for a laptop
This young person that I am currently supporting has been accepted onto a degree with Open University. The course starts on 5th February and she needs a laptop to complete the course work. This young person only receives Universal Credit so has no way of affording this herself. Any help would be appreciated which, of course, will mean everything to her as it will open so many employment opportunities.
£100 needed for a single bed and bedding
N is a single mum who is struggling financially and is is on restricted payments from Universal Credit. The child's grandma is prioritising food and essentials in the home for the child. At the moment, the child’s bed is broken at one end and is being propped up, but is really not safe. The bedding is damp, due to damp room conditions. Grandma cannot help anymore than she is already doing. Please can you help?
