£150 needed for a new TV
This vulnerable woman has just moved into a new home after leaving a domestically violent relationship. She had to leave everything behind and is now starting from scratch and rebuilding her life. Please can you help get a new TV? This will help with isolation, depression and prevent her from seeking out unsafe places.
£160 needed for an undercounter fridge
Mr B is 20 years old and has high-functioning autism. He lived with his parents in a religious household and they did not condone Mr B's sexuality. He was forced to leave his parents house and lived with his Grandmother. She sadly passed away in September last year leaving Mr B homeless and with no support from family. He has suffered mental health and trauma from the situation. An LGBT organisation has supported him in finding a rented room with a private bathroom. He has no access to a fridge, with the warmer weather now approaching it is something he desperately needs to enable him to keep cooked food stored safely at the right temperature.
£200 needed for a washing machine
J has worked hard during his time at Restore to distance himself from his old life and start afresh. He is very capable and eager to move forward but is struggling with covering the cost of everything he needs for his new flat in one go. One of the items that will help him be more independent is a washing machine but this is a huge cost to him for one item.
£200 needed for a voucher for decoration supplies
We’re looking for a Wilko voucher to help create a bedroom that feels safe and suitable for a young girl. At the moment, her bedroom doesn’t meet her needs. Mum has health needs and is in and out of hospital, which can leave things feeling unsettled at home. Dad is caring for Mum and their daughters full time, and Mum has ongoing hospital stays that make finances difficult. Her younger daughter has additional needs and would really benefit from having a calm, appropriate space of her own.
£200 needed for a sofa and wardrobe
This client is an asylum seeker who first claimed asylum in 2019 and is still waiting for a decision. She also has a daughter with mental health difficulties who ended up being referred to child and adolescent mental health services. They had lived in poor accommodation where she found a dead rat and her ceiling collapsed and very recently got a new flat which is unfurnished and is in need of a sofa and wardrobe.
£110 needed for a TV and DVD player
Ms S is currently in interim accommodation having slept rough for months. She was homeless due to fleeing domestic violence and is receiving support for addiction. She has been sober for several weeks now and able to see her children through supervised visits. This ongoing stress and boredom in the temporary accommodation are ingredients for a potential relapse. We have sourced a basic phone for her but a TV and DVD player will aid her mental health and recovery. Thank you for considering this.
£200 needed for a double bed and mattress
Our foodbank client, P, is a single mum who has finally got her own flat after waiting more than six years for a two bedroom flat for herself and her child. She has long term health and mental health issues. She is unable to work and needs help to be able to furnish her flat. Could you please help her get a bed frame and mattress so she has somewhere to sleep?
£200 needed for a sofa
K has been staying with her son, but sleeping on a two seater sofa for two and a half years. She has a number of health concerns including osteoarthritis in spine and hips. She recently found a flat but there is limited furniture. She is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment which covers necessary costs but she is unable to purchase furniture. We are requesting support to purchase a sofa as there is no furniture in living area. Can you help make a house a home?
£200 needed for a vacuum, blender, and wardrobe
I am supporting a lovely young woman who is rebuilding her life after a serious domestic abuse incident. She has come really far but is still dealing with the trauma of the incident. She is trying to make her home nice as it helps with her wellbeing and she is trying to focus on her physical and emotional health. In order to help her with this, she would like a vacuum to help with cleaning her place, a blender to focus on healthy food and a wardrobe to help with storage and tidiness. Thank you.
