£70 needed for a tumble dryer and a child's bike seat

We are working with a single mum claiming asylum. She is currently drying clothes using heating that has increased costs, but she is on a low income that just about covers her existing costs. She would love to get a tumble dryer to dry her clothes. We would also like to help this mum and son to get out and about more to help with their mental and general well being. We have been able to give mum a bike but need a child's bike seat. Thank you for your help.

£100 needed for flooring

A single mum and new baby have had to relocate to a flat but have to completely kit it out. Mum is on benefits so unable to spend much to supply for all she needs. She has had help to obtain items of furniture second hand, and received a £60 donation towards kitchen equipment. The main concern is there is no safe flooring down for when the baby starts to crawl so vinyl flooring will help make the flat into a home and be safer for the baby.

£130 needed for a denture

Mr W is 65 and is due to retire in May 2021. He moved to Liverpool at the beginning of the pandemic so has been unable to look for work. He receives a small pension and a small amount of Universal Credit towards his rent. He has had an accident and lost 3 of his bottom teeth, and only has 2 remaining. He is unable to pay to go to the dentist, and he gets no free treatment as the pension is above the minimum amount by about £10. We are hoping to raise some funds to put towards the treatment for a denture to raise his spirits.

£90 needed for bills and living costs

The client has recently been made redundant and because of this has had to start claiming benefits until he finds another job. Unfortunately the benefits have a wait time of up to 6 weeks and he has a number of bills that have already started to come out. The client had been paying debt off for years and was close to an end, but without any income this will go back up and push the client further into debt. This support would help the client pay his bills and help him avoid further debt.

The client came to us after finding himself in desperate need of help. He had been struggling for the past few months due to Covid-19, and after being made redundant in his job was moved to benefits. As the benefits only covered a percentage of his outgoings he had been using savings and has ended up spending all he had built up over the past 2 years. Thankfully he starts a new job in November, however he is now struggling to make ends meet. This support would cover him until he starts his new job.

We have been supporting a struggling Christians Against Poverty (CAP) client with weekly food bags for months and recently the electrics went in her house. The cause was the freezer defrosting and leaking. The client struggles with bipolar and this intermittent problem is causing distress. We have sourced a local second hand fridge/freezer for her as she has had no power downstairs in her house all week. This should resolve the power problem and wasted food, plus help her mental health issues.

£100 needed for a gas cooker

A plea for food for a depressed, isolated man on benefits, led us to hear of mounting debt and no cooking facilities. An appointment made with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and a donated microwave have helped, but now reconciled with his partner, they would love a cooker. We have sourced a local, good second-hand one, with instructions. This, with our weekly food bags, promise of a way out of debt with CAP, plus our prayers, led L to say, I've remembered how to smile and now we have hope.
