Please can you help this young lady who has been a victim of domestic violence and is now having a fresh start in a new area. She has no family support and is suffering from debilitating mental health problems. She is on Universal Credit. She has nothing to cook on and her microwave has now broken too. We have sourced a new cooker and microwave at a good price and she would be very grateful if you could help her purchase them which would really make a difference to her quality of life. Thank you.

P, a single mum from India with two teenage children, has recently had to move into a new home and has no furniture. The entire family is currently sleeping on the floor and, as the weather turns colder, this will be increasingly uncomfortable. This lovely lady has worked very hard to further her education and find work, but the cost of moving has left her without the resources to furnish her children's room. P would be very grateful for any help received to make her children more comfortable

This family of five, with three primary school age children, is in great need of a freezer to help provide healthy meals for the growing family. Mum is struggling to cope in these difficult times, and a freezer would help greatly so she can buy affordable healthy food. Their oldest child has severe learning difficulties and dad is a student from abroad. We are giving ongoing support to the family as they settle in the area and plan to stay long-term. They much appreciate any support given. Thank you.

Safe Families are supporting a family of four who are in need of a new tumble dryer. Due to their twelve year old son's complex needs, the parents are having to prioritise replacing items in the home that he has unfortunately damaged. This means they cannot afford to replace the broken tumble dryer. As the weather is getting colder, it is not always possible to line dry the washing, so currently their neighbours are helping to dry clothes in their dryers, but this is not a sustainable option.

Our applicant, whose son died of suspected suicide recently, receives a state pension which makes it difficult to be able to afford items other than basic essentials. They are currently in need of a new fridge freezer as theirs is very old and in poor condition. To have a fridge freezer that is reliable and in good working order would be a relief, eliminating additional worry and anxiety.

IG, who has fallen on hard times, has mobility issues and, due to little contact with community, friends or family, faces isolation and struggles daily. A regular at our Newcastle centre, he comes for company, warmth, food and support. Often forced to choose between food and energy, IG would greatly benefit from an air-fryer. At £50, this appliance would let him cook meals affordably, using less energy than an oven. Your help would bring warmth, dignity and hope to IG during this challenging time.
