£70 needed for Funeral costs - outstanding funeral director fees

S, 34, was an ex-offender; he passed away in tragic circumstances on Saturday. He had been working with a Christians Against Poverty job club, taking steps to move away from his past and get free from the drugs that have put him in and out of jail for more than half his life. We prayed with him on a number of occasions and his aunt, the church caretaker. He leaves a young daughter and a devastated mum who has no means of meeting funeral costs - this would fill the gap left from the aunt’s church’s kind donation.

£100 needed for a Tent

An asylum seeking man in Leeds is getting some help from a refugee charity. He sometimes needs to sleep rough and would benefit from having a tent. In the summer, he has a chance to camp. If he can find a bargain, he will also buy camping items. This will help him to stay dry and get some sleep and reduce his stress.

£115 needed for a Trampoline

A 9 year old girl with severe autism and sensory processing disorder would love a trampoline as bouncing helps her to emotionally regulate and to meet her sensory needs. This would make a huge difference to her and her family who live in a crowded flat with an outdoor space. Unfortunately the family are unable to fund this themselves as they have limited access to funds due to seeking refuge.

£120 needed for a double bed

A's family were made homeless in April when they were evicted because they were struggling to make rent payments. They have been living in emergency accommodation, but are now moving into an unfurnished council flat. A's wife is currently not able to work as she is looking after the children, and A is out of work because of mental health problems. Their income is therefore very low and is only covering food and toiletries, meaning they cannot save for any furniture. A bed would be a real help.

£120 needed for gas arrears

A.L. was homeless last year, she moved into temporary accommodation and didn't realise that the gas meter was on a default tariff. She wrongly assumed that this gas bill would be about the same as it was at her previous address, but when her bill arrived it was much more than she had budgeted for. We have contacted the gas provider and they have agreed to reduce the total debt but she still needs to pay £120 towards the cost of the arrears.

£120 needed for a Refugee Single Mum to have a holiday

£100 needed for a holiday for an Asylum Seeker

A has been attending our ESOL classes and church for some time now - recently she was told that her support was being stopped. We have managed to find a new lawyer to put in a fresh claim for asylum but this has been a very stressful and upsetting time. We would love to enable her and her son to attend our annual church holiday for a break and to bless them. We have some funding in place but really need additional funding to even meet the significantly discounted places.
