This lady is having a tough time, living solely on benefits with two disabled children in a property which is not suitable for their needs. Thankfully, an opportunity has come up to move to a more appropriate house for them all, but finding the moving costs is a struggle. This money will pay for the local ‘man with a van’ to facilitate this for them.

D had an accident in September 2024 and has been unable to work since. Transitioning to Universal Credit has been a struggle and she has got behind with essential payments. Her mental and physical health has also suffered. D moved into an unfurnished flat earlier in the year and has not had any money left over to furnish her living room. Please can you help D to buy a sofa to make her flat more like a home?

L and her partner have three children aged six, four and two. They are living in temporary accommodation in a one bedroom flat. L used to work full-time, but cannot work at the moment due to mental health issues. This has left the family struggling financially and unable to buy clothes and shoes for their growing children. We would like to buy the children clothes, shoes and a few toys. We would also like to buy L and her partner coats.

This lady is in need of a house move due to her daughter having significant mobility issues and other special needs. Their current property has become unsuitable and so they are looking to move to an adapted property which has thankfully been found for them. Living on benefits alone makes all the costs associated with moving difficult to find, but this money will fund the local man with a van to take care of this for them and remove a significant burden from this lady's shoulders.

After a suicide attempt left her with a serious brain injury, this lady has spent eighteen months in a rehabilitation unit. She has just been housed locally, with a support package, and is having to start from scratch in equipping her property. This lady literally knows nobody, so we are seeking to support her as a church. She would be delighted to have her own cooker and begin to look after herself properly. Can you help her achieve this, please?

D, a refugee who has just received leave to remain, is desperate to be reunited with his wife and young children, hopefully, in the next year! He is studying very hard at the college to get his English qualifications and hopes to find a job soon.

Thank you so much for helping D to get his own device.

This family of four have been through a lot, including family relationship tensions. The parents have additional needs and struggle with their mental health. They would love to have a skip so that they can continue to make the garden improvements they have started. A skip would give fresh motivation for the family to be able to dispose of garden waste and finish their projects. This would enable the family to have a lovely garden to enjoy, but they are struggling financially and cannot afford this expense. Thank you.

She needed the time off work to grieve and look after her mental health.

F's fridge freezer has broken and she is unable to replace it due to her finical situation.

I am supporting a wonderful and resilient young woman who has been moved into a self contained bedsit after such a long time in very unsuitable emergency accommodation. She, unfortunately, had to flee, due to high risk domestic violence. This comes with very basic furniture and this young woman needs lots of items to make this a home. She would really appreciate a desk and chair, some storage furniture and essential kitchen items.

J is a single mum with two secondary school age children. Following a health problem, she is off work, but is attending a retraining course and wants to get back to work. Her landlord wants to sell her house and J has been forced to get emergency accommodation which is forty miles away from her children's school, meaning an eighty mile round trip each day. Also, her 'new' home has only electric heating, increasing her living costs. Please can you help J with her travel costs, which are crippling?
