K is a mum of 3 on Universal Credit. She is struggling to make ends meet due to her landlord increasing her rent and there not being any social housing available. Her washing machine has broken and she can't afford a new one, can you help?
H has three young children and is struggling to make ends meet on her Universal Credit payments. Her son's bed frame has broken and he is now sleeping on just a mattress. The doors on his wardrobe have also broken and left it unusable. H has no spare money to be able to buy anything to replace it but a gift of £150 would allow her to buy a second hand bed and small wardrobe for his room.
N is a regular attender at our Food Larder cafes every week. He has serious mental health challenges and is diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. His sleep is being seriously disrupted due to the very poor mattress on which he sleeps and the springs digging into the frame make things very uncomfortable! N receives Universal Credit and would appreciate help in purchasing a new mattress plus bedding as he is not in a position to be able to purchase one himself.
N has two boys aged seven and ten and is living on Universal Credit. She separated from her fiancé last year and lived with her mum until recently when she was given Council Accommodation. She has managed to secure white goods, but has no money left with which to purchase a double bed for herself and a single mattress for one of her sons. N is looking for work, but it will be some time before she has saved enough for this and she would be so grateful for any help
A local community is hosting a family of eight Ukranians who are due to arrive this week. They are creating a home for them in place that was used to teach English so it needs a cooker urgently. A local store has promised a discount but it is expensive. These people are so precious that they gave their own bedding, which I discovered when we turned up with bedding for the families. They know how to love and give selflessly!
This vulnerable family of eight includes an autistic son and multiple members of their family living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. They currently have £100 a week after their rent and bills. We have so much admiration for this family who serve the community even though they themselves are so much in need. They may have their car taken away which will make life very difficult as they drive their son to a special school for his autism. Their washing machine has broken and they need a new one urgently.
H is a single mum of two whose son has disabilities which affect his sleep. The family are trying to make a fresh start after a failed abusive relationship and mum has given up her bedroom so that each child can have their own room. H has been sleeping for three years on an old sofa with sagging springs which is giving her back pain, although she never complains. A sofa bed would give her the much needed good night's sleep she deserves.
This young lady has finally moved into her forever home, after living in temporary accommodation for many months. The flat is unfurnished so she is building it up slowly and is seeking help to get second hand cooker, washing machine and a child’s bed, as her child is too big for the bed she sleeps in at the moment. Her Universal Credit sum was used as the deposit, so she is getting her life in order. Can we help her to get the basics? Thank you.
N is on Universal Credit and was rehoused a year ago, following a marriage breakdown. The flat had nothing in it in the way of furnishings and he has spent the last year trying to get things together for himself. N has lived for a year on microwave meals and is in great need of an electric cooker. He would be so grateful if money could be given to enable him to purchase one.
This young man has severe, incurable, health difficulties and, due to a relationship breakdown, had to leave his home. He has been sofa surfing for a long period of time. The Council have now allocated him a flat, but he has no money to furnish it. Please could you help him by donating £150 for a cooker? Thank you.
