£200 needed for double bed and bedding
R is a young man with autism who lives with his mother. R is unable to work and is dependent on benefits, neither is his mum working due to her caring role of R. The family have no other support system and struggle financially due to R's high level of need. R has broken a number of beds due to his boisterous behaviour and needs a new bed which is made from reinforced steel. He also needs a larger double bed due to him now being of adult size and therefore needs bedding to go with the frame and mattress.
£200 needed for a cooker
T is recovering from drug addiction and domestic abuse. Currently going through a rehabilitation program run by the local council called New Hope. T is trying to get her life back and is making good progress. We have provided all the furniture she needs to turn a flat into a home. Fridge freezer, microwave beds etc. The cooker is the last item. We thank you in advance for anything you can donate. Once it is installed we will look to provide further support including cookery lessons and visits.
£200 needed for essential items of furniture and heating
P is trying to get his life together after being released from prison. He wants to purchase now essential items of furniture for his studio flat to make it more inviting and comfortable for his partner (who is expecting P's third child) and his two young children (7 and 10 years old) to come and visit. P is in receipt of benefits and needs financial assistance to purchase a wardrobe for his clothes (which are currently being stored in boxes on the floor) and some oil heaters to heat up his flat.
£150 needed for a TV
A vulnerable adult in our community is living on a low income ever since his relative died who shared all the outgoings. He is struggling financially and has been without a TV since March when BT went round to sort his broadband and cut through his aerial so he can no longer watch freeview. He is very lonely and a Smart TV will help him feel connected to the outside world. He has sourced a TV for £150. Please would you be able to donate to this request to help relieve his loneliness? Thank you.
£200 needed for the hiring of a skip
This couple are living in a significantly cluttered home, making safe access and mobility difficult. They have no family or friends able to provide practical help. The husband has ongoing back problems and is predominantly bed-bound, so is unable to declutter their home. Their only income is state benefits with no savings to cover a skip or waste removal. We would like to help by providing a skip to make their home safer and more accessible. We pray that our kind donors can help towards the cost
£200 needed for a washing machine
M is struggling with bills mounting up and now her washing machine is broken. She works full-time with three children. She’s just about keeping her head afloat and now with the washing machine breaking it’s just another bill she can’t get on top of it would be amazing if we could bless this family by taking that pressure away.
£100 needed for a refurbished phone
R is a refugee, living independently in a house share. She attends college, trying her best to make a life for herself and get into work. She has had a very old phone for a long time and it has now almost completely stopped working. She struggles to use maps, or WhatsApp because her storage is limited. Some money towards a new phone would mean she can use her phone properly again and have some independance. Currently, she struggles to go to new places because she cannot use maps to find her way.
£200 needed for a washing machine and microwave
C came to us with difficulties that made it hard for her to leave the house and live a normal life. Social anxiety was holding her back. She has done well in our supported housing attending events and has now secured a flat of her own and we have helped her move into this. She now needs help to buy a microwave and washing machine. There is no cooker in her flat but she can get by for the time being if she had a microwave. She has come so far and she is now starting her new future.
£115 needed for renewing a passport
P came to the UK 24 years ago. She's never had a stable home since arriving in the UK, and has lived with friends for many years but is now sleeping at a night shelter. She suffers from lymphoedema which affects her mobility and is hard to manage in the shelter. She is eligible to make an application to regularise her stay in the UK and this would make a huge difference to her wellbeing but to do so she first needs to renew her Nigerian passport. She would be grateful for any help to do this.
