£200 needed for a supermarket shopping voucher
H has moved into a new home with her son after homelessness. H has accepted all support and advice available, but the move has inevitably been expensive. H is applying for jobs, but is currently on a low income. As a result, H is experiencing financial hardship and struggling to afford all essential costs this month. Any generous donations towards a supermarket shopping voucher would help to relieve financial hardship and prevent H getting into arrears as she focuses on this fresh start.
£145 needed for an electric piano
M is a young person who has had to cope with some major difficulties, including time living in care, and mental ill health resulting in a stay in hospital. He struggles financially, having never been taught to manage money. M has talked about how playing the piano helps him to feel focused, connected and better in himself, and of his aspiration to play better, but he doesn't have access to piano and can't afford to buy one. Your help would boost his wellbeing, confidence, self-esteem and joy.
£200 needed for a bed base and mattress
R has recently left an abusive situation and is rebuilding her life in a new home. She is taking positive steps towards creating a safe and settled future for herself, but has very limited resources and needs essential furniture. A new bed and mattress would make a significant difference to her wellbeing and recovery, providing her with a comfortable and secure place to sleep as she begins this new chapter.
£95 needed for a passport
This young woman has moved from rehab to supported accommodation. With support she is working to get her life back on track. She receives Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit. She has secured a place at college so that she can gain useful employment later. She needs a passport for ID and will need paid help to fill out the application. This will be provided by support staff. Please will you help?
£200 needed for carpet fitting
Firstly, thank you for reading this request. R's has recently been evicted from her home after her partner died suddenly (she wasn't named on the tenancy). After a period in temporary accommodation she has now been granted a council house by her local authority. Sadly the property isn't carpeted and R isn't in any position to be able to afford to put carpets down. We're hoping and praying that a kind donor will help to help R rebuild her life.
£200 needed for two single beds and mattresses
This lady is a single mother of two and after becoming homeless, she secured a flat in our area. She has no savings and is on Universal Credit. Her children are sharing a bed with this lady and this is affecting the well-being of all three family members as they are not getting a restful night’s sleep. We would like to provide her with two single beds to allow the family to get a restful nights sleep.
£160 needed for a new double mattress
E has been coming to our community drop-in for the last couple of years. She has suffered three strokes aged 23, 27 and one in her early 30s. Life often throws E a curve ball but she is determined to try and live a full and independent life. She approached us recently to ask if we might be able to help her find some support to get a new double mattress as her current one is worn so thin that she is now struggling to sleep properly, which adds to her daily hardships.
£200 needed for accommodation and train tickets
A young Romanian couple has presented at our centre. Both travelled to Southend from Stoke with the promise of paid work. Unfortunately this didn’t materialise and the couple are now stuck in Southend with no money to return home. Both are facing homelessness until they can return and the teenage female partner is diabetic. We are looking to pay for one night at a Bed & Breakfast and two single rail tickets to Stoke.
£200 needed for a bed and breakfast stay and clothing
This gentleman works nights for a minimal wage and sleeps in a chair when visiting a day centre. He does not earn enough to afford a basic place to live despite trying to do all the right things. Recently he has been demonstrating uncharacteristic mental health issues and emotional instability including running into traffic on a major road. He is aware of this deterioration and approached us for time in a bed and breakfast to get proper rest. We would like to offer this along with some clothing as we approach colder months.
