£200 needed for hall, stairs and landing carpets
We are working to support L, who fled domestic abuse last year and lost her mum. She is raising her fourteen year old daughter and five year old son alone. We have secured essential furniture, but they desperately need carpets for their hall, stairs and landing, to make their home safe and warm. Any help would be much appreciated.
£200 needed for trauma counselling
K's partner was given two to five years to live, two years ago; however, only one year later, at age of thirty nine, she died. K is struggling with grief, but also suffers from anxiety, worrying about what other people think about him, and whether he did enough to look after his partner. He is paranoid that others will blame him for her death, and has been prescribed anti- depressants. This funding would provide ten sessions of trauma counselling.
£200 needed for a living room carpet
D, a young, local man with a learning disability, is seeking financial help to enable him to purchase a new carpet for the living room, having been housed by his local council. His mum has recently died, and he also suffers with depression. We would like to help carpet D's living room. Our charitable group will ensure that the full amount is met and he can start to get sorted in his new housing. Thank you for your kind support, it will make a great difference to him.
£200 needed for prescriptions
Our supported person is a victim of medical negligence. He was incorrectly diagnosed with cancer, had treatments and operations, and was later told that a mistake had been made and he had been given another person’s diagnosis in error. This and other events have led to a significant downturn in his mental health and he has been off work without pay for a while. Our supported person is on four prescribed medications and, having been initially informed he was exempt from paying them, is now in debt after being billed.
£200 needed for an electric cooker
P is a single dad who is on low income. His cooker has been broken for a very long time and he has been managing through food banks and friends cooking odd meals for the family. Dad needs to be cooking proper home-made food for them all, but cannot get the money from anyone to help to buy a cooker. P cannot go into debt as he’s already struggling to pay the bills. Please can you help?
£200 needed for a television, towels, a duvet, duvet cover and sheets
K is a single Christian lady who is on Universal Credit. She has been rehoused from a refuge. She lives alone and does not like going out and is in debt. Christians Against Poverty have been helping her. She only has a bed and a couple of pieces of furniture, and can only live in one room. K would like a television so she can watch it when she is alone, and also needs some towels, a duvet, duvet cover and sheets for her bed. These items would really help her. Thank you.
£200 needed for a wardrobe and bedroom drawers
Mum is in need of wardrobes and drawers for herself and her seventeen year old daughter, who suffers with her mental health. They have got a tenancy, following a period in temporary accommodation, due to fleeing domestic violence. They have nowhere to store their clothes, and need help to make this new tenancy a home where they can feel safe and make a fresh start. Mum's only income is from benefits.
£200 needed for food and electricity
This lady is a single mum with two young daughters, one of whom has cancer and was very ill in hospital. Mum didn't want to leave her daughter and this meant she missed an appointment for her benefits. Despite phoning to explain why, she had her benefits stopped until July 26th. Her daughter is now a little better and back at home, and mum is desperate to keep both girls fed and the electric meter topped up. She is due to have an operation herself next week and really needs some help with her costs.
£200 needed for a washing machine
Y has been staying in supported accommodation after leaving asylum accommodation due to health problems. He has now secured a social housing property, but it is unfurnished and he can't afford all of the items he needs, due to his low income. The council is supporting Y with a bed, cooker and fridge freezer, but he has been unable to get a washing machine, which means he is struggling to keep his limited clothes and bedding clean without costly and time-consuming trips to the launderette.
