S has suffered a back injury that has temporarily prevented him from working and receives only £400 monthly in sick pay, leaving him and his pregnant wife struggling to afford essential living costs. They are facing financial hardship, with growing concerns about being able to afford food and maintain their housing.Your donations would provide vital support, we would arrange a supermarket voucher to help them purchase essential groceries for family over the next month, easing some of their financial pressure.
£200 needed for a cooker
M lives on her own and struggles with both a number of physical and mental health issues. She is on a low income and is working with Christians Against Poverty on a debt management programme. Her cooker blew up a couple of weeks ago and she has been struggling since. Having a replacement will greatly improve her day to day life.
£200 needed for a laptop
Client O has just arrived in the UK and is finding it hard to find work. A laptop would really help him practise his English and apply for jobs, giving him a better chance to get started and become independent.
£200 needed for rent arrears
P lives in supported accommodation and recently experienced unexpected financial difficulties due to delays and complications with his benefit payments. This has left him with arrears towards his personal charge for his accommodation despite his best efforts to manage his circumstances. A little financial support would make a real difference by helping to reduce these arrears, ease the pressure he is currently facing and allow him to focus on moving forward positively and maintaining the stability of his home.
£200 needed for a washing machine
N has two children, with a third on the way, and has recently become a single parent. Because of that she is currently staying in temporary accommodation, which although it is largely furnished has no washing machine. She has very little income which barely covers food and bills, so she can't afford to buy one herself, and launderette costs are unsustainable. Your help would mean she could keep on top of the family's washing, and they could rely on having clean clothes and bedding.
£200 needed for a dental retainer
This 23 year old, along with her family have been waiting on home office approval to remain but have been waiting over 8 years. She is not allowed to work or claim benefits. She had to have facial surgery which was completed and has to wear a set of dental retainers following this. They have broken through normal wear and tear of constant use but the NHS could only pay for one set. Any further have to be paid for but they don't receive an income and she is scared of undoing the recovery work.
£200 needed for flooring for the lounge
N and her partner S have five children the youngest of which is autistic. After a very long wait they were allocated a four bedroom house so their son with autism can have his own room and space. This is a new property which has no flooring. They are on benefits and her partner is getting some low paid work. They would be delighted to get some flooring for their lounge before winter sets in.
£100 needed for a mobile phone
D has struggled with Emotional Unstable Personality Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. His family are unsupportive and he has been the victim of domestic abuse in several relationships. His outreach worker has asked us to help with the purchase of a mobile phone. He has been rough sleeping and came to their attention. He's connecting well with the Care Give Live mental health team. A phone will help that communication continue. We'd appreciate your help to buy a phone for him. Thanks.
£200 needed for a television and microwave
R is a single Afghan lady who was recently moved into a supported flat. She lacks several essential appliances of her own. Her English skills are very limited, watching TV eases her loneliness and assists with her language learning. Several health issues make daily tasks physically demanding. To improve her independence and well-being, she needs a television to ease loneliness and support English language learning. A microwave would allow her to easily cook and reheat small meals while saving money on gas.
