£200 needed for a fridge freezer
A young single mother with a one year old child has been re-homed from a mother and baby unit into social housing which has no white goods or furniture. This request is for a contribution towards a fridge freezer for their new home. So they can safely store food.
£200 needed for a washing machine
D is unable to work following a cancer diagnosis for which he receives regular treatment far from his home. Travel costs are significant and his wife has become his carer and cannot work. He does not have any savings and is dependent on benefits. The cancer diagnosis led to a significant increase in the amount of washing of bedding and the washing machine has broken beyond repair. This is a challenging time and a washing machine would so help his needs.
£150 needed for carpets for a child's bedroom
Mum is now a single parent. The family have moved after fleeing domestic violence from the children’s father and have spent a period in temporary accommodation. They are now moving into their own council property and beginning to rebuild stability. Her eldest child is currently on the neurodiversity assessment pathway, and her youngest, aged one, is now crawling and increasingly mobile. Safe, suitable flooring is essential for the children’s wellbeing, particularly for the baby who spends much of the day on the floor. Although Mum has managed to secure some flooring for parts of the property, she is struggling to afford flooring for the children’s bedrooms. After the costs of moving, setting up a new home, and managing on a single income, she is finding it extremely difficult to gather the remaining funds.
£200 needed for fitting a new carpet
J suffers with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions which impact her mobility and require regular visits from care workers. She is moving into more suitable, single-storey accommodation with a local housing association, but unfortunately this does not have any carpet in the living room and she is not in a financial position to be able to afford this as she is on benefits. Please would you help us to make her new home a more warm and comfortable place to be?
£200 needed for a laptop
M is the sole carer of her 1 year old daughter. She does care work on a zero hours contract, but she can only work approximately 5 hours a week because of childcare. Due to her immigration status, M is not able to access benefits. M wants to empower herself by improving her computer and digital skills. Having a laptop will also help her better access online training. This will be used to obtain a pre-loved or refurbished laptop. Please help M develop her skills!
£125 needed for holding fee for accommodation
P is homeless, moving between temporary places. He’s found a suitable flat and can pay the bond but needs this fee to secure it. Without it, he risks losing the property and can’t access further funding. His Universal Credit won’t arrive in time. He’s been proactive and persistent in putting support in place, stable accommodation is now his key priority. This support would be crucial in helping him take that next step forward.
£200 needed for a washing machine
This young mum has four children under 14 and is constantly washing. Her washing machine is leaking, forcing her to use the launderette. With her Universal Credit already stretched by essential outgoings, every penny is spoken for. Could we help stabilise her finances by supporting her with a washing machine.
£145 needed for a refurbished washer and a double mattress
L, along with his partner, have moved into his mother's home after she passed away, in order to take care of his 14 year old brother, who had sadly found his mum when she had died. She had been ill for a while and had not been able to look after the house properly. L needs to bring it to a standard for them all to live in, but they are on a very low income so funds are tight. They need help to buy a washing machine and also to replace the double mattress.
£200 needed for one year of pendant alarm
Mr D is in hospital following a stroke which has affected his speech and cognition. He lives alone and is fiercely independent. He is no longer able to use a mobile phone and without a pendant alarm, he will have no means to call for help. This device has been identified as essential but costs are prohibitive and this is the only delay for his hospital discharge. A year's subscription will give time to find an alternative solution or further funding; we hope his health will improve!
