£200 needed for driving lessons
T and her husband are from Pakistan. She has been her 3 years but has become very lonely and isolated due to a lack of language and opportunity. She has been coming to our support cafes to make friends and gain confidence. She would like to learn to drive to give her more employment opportunities. This will pay for 4 lessons. She is learning English and volunteering a few different places.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
R is recovering from addiction and has been housed into a flat which will be his first own home. He has no white goods at all, it is in a new area and R has no family or friends to be able to help. The item that he requires the most urgently is a fridge freezer so that he doesn't have to throw food away.
£150 needed for clothes and footwear
Client A wishes to make a good impression and believes this is one way they can- they suffer poor mental health, housing issue and has not not seen their child for over 1 year, all of which is having an impact on them, having appropriate clothes, shoes will ease the anxiety and help prepare them to face family court. A has Universal Credit only, has applied for help with Court Fees (awaiting a decision), and no legal aid. There are no immediate family or friends that he can turn to for support.
£200 needed for carpeting fitting
H has recently moved into her first home with her 4 month old baby. She spent all her savings on appliances and furniture. She is currently on maternity leave (her employer doesn’t pay maternity pay and therefore her only income is from Universal Credit). The new property is without carpets and H desperately wants to make it a proper home for her and her daughter. We’re able to provide carpets free of charge if a kind donor will help with the fitting costs.
£200 needed for bedroom storage
L is a single mum who has recently been able to move to more permanent housing after staying in a hostel for a while. Her and her son are in need of a wardrobe and chest of drawers. She does work and also receives Universal Credit but has not been able to put money away to be able to buy these items. An Argos voucher to purchase these items would help them settle in and be more organised in their new home. Thank you.
£200 needed for washing machine
J suffers with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Bi-polar and receives benefits. J has his children to stay with him regularly. His washing machine has broken and he is unable to afford to replace it. Please can you help him raise funds for a new washing machine?
£200 needed for an electric cooker
N has a child with complex needs associated with Autism, resulting in injury to both parents. She has recently separated from her child's father and the local council have re-homed her and her child into more appropriate accommodation for both their needs. The new property doesn't have a cooker. N receives benefits and is unable to afford to buy a cooker. Please could you help to raise funds for a cooker to make this mum's life a little easier.
£160 needed for clothes, shoes and oyster top-up
J is a 50 year old woman who has been in the UK for 21 years but has never had her own home. She sleeps at friends' houses, or in a hostel and occasionally on buses. Her church has helped her with small amounts of money and lots of support. At the moment she would dearly love to be able to buy some new clothes and shoes as she has put on weight and her clothes no longer fit. An oyster top-up would make a big difference as she often has to travel for appointments and to find somewhere to sleep.
£200 needed for driving lessons
Mum is a full-time carer for her children. She has two children with autism and struggles to get them out of the house together as they need constant supervision. Public transport is challenging and shopping is difficult. Dad works and provides support wherever possible. To keep the children safe mum needs to be able to drive a car. The cost of driving lessons is high, adding strain to the family's finances. Praying that our generous Acts 435 donors can help this family overcome these challenges.
