£140 needed for a laptop
Our friend is a 30 year old Sudanese man who fled from Sudan due to the ongoing civil war there. He would love a laptop to enable him to supplement the few hours of English classes a week he attends with online learning. He is keen to pass the English qualifications as he plans to study Electronic Engineering as he prepares for his new life in a new country. Would you be able to help us to help him?
£200 needed for a security camera for a front door
This severely disabled single lady on benefits is effectively housebound and reliant on carers coming in to support her. She was cleared of debts last year with the help of Christians Against Poverty but her budget remains tight with no savings. She is the victim of a stalker who is threatening her physically and sexually. Police are involved supporting her and have recommended she gets a front door bell with a security camera which retains images. She can get one for £200.
£120 needed for clothing vouchers
Due to the change in temperature and it getting colder now D needs clothing that will keep him warm and dry. Going shopping with a carer for clothes that are suitable will give D, who has a learning disability, an opportunity to make his own choices and develop his independence. D and his parents, who he lives with, have a low income, and due to an extended hospital stay, their benefits have been changed and cut, so this has left the family with an even smaller income and in debt
£200 needed for bedroom storage
S and family have recently been re-housed after claiming asylum, going through a period of uncertainty and are finding it difficult to manage their budget on limited income. Her son is presenting challenging behaviour which has resulted in social care input, who have highlighted that the family requires storage for their clothing but, without help, this is impossible. Can you help us support the family so they can purchase wardrobes and drawers for clothing as they start to rebuild their life?
£200 needed for an electric cooker
S, her partner and two children have not long moved into their new place. They receive Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment and Disability Living Allowance for one of the children. Because of a mix-up with their benefits they are now in arrears and after paying that and rent there is little left at the end of the month. The family are without a cooker and can't afford to buy one. The family's Housing and Benefit Worker contacted us to see if we could help.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
M is a young single mum with two children and on benefits. She is being supported by the Food Bank and Community Health Team. M has a health condition which makes everyday activities a struggle and has recently been moved into a new empty flat. M currently has a mini fridge which will only fit her baby milk and no other way of storing chilled or frozen foods. M would appreciate any help to enable her to purchase a new fridge freezer in order to prepare and store food for her family.
£200 needed for flooring
L, a single parent of two children, who is currently being supported by her local food bank, is on benefits and no savings. A few months ago her son, who has additional needs, recently left the bath running and flooded the property. L has since been suffering with her mental health and away from the property and has now come back to us to ask for help to purchase flooring to make it feel like home for her and her children again and safe for them to be living in. Any help would be appreciated.
£200 needed for a skip hire
S has faced multiple challenges over the last year. Unfortunately there was a fire in her home, she was uninsured, and she now needs to clear various items that have been damaged. She also needs to clear the garden, which has become overgrown in the last few months. She would like to contribute the cost of the skip, but is on basic benefits, and there is no way that she can afford the whole amount. This will help her to get some order back into her life.
£200 needed for a washing machine
C is a single parent and has 3 children to solely look after and provide for. She's a part-time Teaching Assistant. Her children are in secondary and primary education. C's washing machine broke down and is not repairable. She has no funds to replace it and is using a launderette, which is costly, difficult and time-consuming, with washing towels, bedding and clothes. This has impacted her life and her ability to cope. Can you help us to gift a new machine, including plumbing and delivery?
