J, a single mum to three lovely children, has just been housed after sixteen months of constant moving from various temporary properties. Now that she has been housed, the entire property was empty and she is struggling to furnish her new home. So by giving towards a television, microwave and rugs, you will help towards a family having a home with some basic comforts before Christmas.

AI, an asylum seeker mother who lives in a hotel with her three children, fled from Pakistan because of kidnapping threats to her children, due to violent family conflict. She struggles financially, receiving £8 weekly for each member of the family to buy food and clothing (the food provided by the hotel is unsuitable). AI is proud that her daughter was accepted by Westminster Academy, but buying a uniform, a PE kit and a school bag, plus some winter clothing, has been a source of sleepless nights. Please can you help to change her life?

O is a seven year old child with serious neurological disorders which have given rise to extreme behavioural episodes. The family's lives revolve around his complex needs, and he has responded well to sensory equipment in hospital, where fibre optic curtain lights have had a calming effect on him. Installing these at home would be really beneficial to O and his family. The family are dependent upon benefits and are in debt due to other expenditure to help their son. They would greatly appreciate a donation for this equipment.

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

EA is thirty one year old mum to a two year old boy. They have spent several months in emergency accommodation as a result of domestic violence and financial abuse. They have been rehoused this week in a remote location, but have no washing machine, having to move in with crisis and care essentials and just their personal effects. EA is engaging well with all support, but struggling financially with childcare/nursery costs and general budgeting. Any help with a replacement washing machine would ease the stress of laundry days and allow her to feel normal again.

Can you please help my client X to get a freezer? He lives with his partner and two young children, and they have recently been victims of a burglary where the perpetrator destroyed items in their property, including their freezer. My client and his family are all on benefits and are struggling to pay bills and buy food shopping, so cannot afford to buy a replacement. X is struggling to budget without a freezer, and this appliance will make it easier to shop on such a low income.

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.

Our client is a young mother of two children, an eight year old son who is autistic and attends a special needs school, and a seven year old daughter who attends primary school. Mum, who receives Universal Credit, is pregnant and is due to give birth in the second half of December. She is in need of a three in one system of a pushchair, car seat and accessories which will cost £168.

J, a six year old girl, has severe allergies and now has to carry an EpiPen. One of her allergies is to dust mites and this means she does not sleep well. Her parents have made lots of changes to her bedroom to minimise her exposure to dust, but her single mattress is very old and a new mattress is beyond their reach. It will, however, make a big difference to J, enabling her to sleep better. Thank you for your help.

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.

B, who has been out of jail for three months and is sofa surfing, is working on her relationship with her children and is walking two hours each way to see them on a Saturday and Sunday. She would love to have a bike, and Acts 435 did provide a bike for this applicant a few years ago, but all her belongings were lost when she went to prison. A bike would make it much easier to see the children, and there is a local bike hub who could provide one for £100.

SMS is an asylum seeker living in a hotel with her twelve year old son who recently entered secondary school. They fled from Syria due to the Syrian/Kurdish conflict which affected them severely. They are a very unhappy family and mum is anxious and distressed. SMS needs your help to buy winter clothing plus a school uniform, PE kit, school bag and shoes for her son. Please can you help to bring change to this family? Thank you.

This lady, who has been referred to us by the local Housing Authority, is struggling as her housing benefit has been reduced, due to her being overpaid previously, and she also has rent arrears. Mum has four teenage children who are in desperate need of some new clothes. This request is for two of her children and there will be a separate request for the other two. A gift of £200 would be gratefully appreciated, especially as we approach the colder weather. Thank you.

This is a second request to cover the cost of new clothing for two of this lady's four children. She has fallen into rent arrears, due to her housing benefit being cut, as she was previously overpaid. A gift of £200 would provide warm clothing for them, especially needed now as the weather gets colder. Thank you for your consideration.

This young mum is in need of clothes and nappies for her three year old who has special needs. The family members are from Bulgaria and speak only a little English so are finding work is hard. Dad has found some work on a zero hours contract, but as the family does not yet have settled status, they are not entitled to any benefits. Being able to buy new clothes for their son would mean that he can be kept warm during the winter season, and nappies would keep him dry and comfortable. Please can you offer help to this family?

S is a single mum who is struggling with rising cost of food, fuel and bills. She does not feel she has enough to pay for anything for the children for Christmas. S would not normally ask, but is very anxious this Christmas. She is working with Christians Against Poverty for debt help and is on a very tight budget. S has two teenagers to buy presents for and your gift would help to encourage this family over Christmas. Thank you very much for noticing this request.

Mum is not able to work due to health issues. Recently, her adult son moved out and took lots of furniture with him. The youngest child has now moved into his room, but has no furniture. Mum is buying some items for the room, such as a bed, and would appreciate this contribution for a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a bedside table. The young boy is adapting to a lot of changes and is so grateful to have a space that is his own. Mum feels this will help him be more prepared for the big step to High School next year.

J, a mum of four primary school aged children, was left in debt by her ex-partner's gambling habit. She has worked with Christians Against Poverty this year to become debt free and to manage her finances. J's washing machine has broken and she needs £200 towards a new one which she cannot afford as she is on Universal Credit and does not want to get into debt again. Having four children means doing washing several times a week and J is currently hand washing in the bath. Please could you help?

This young mum has a fourteen month old daughter and would like to get her room set up to be a safer place for her to play, now she is mobile. Due to a lack of storage, this baby is currently drawing on the floor as a form of stimulation, because her toys are getting broken or lost in the small space. This donation will be used to buy some shelving/boxes and wallpaper in order to help mum create a space she can be proud of and in which her fourteen month daughter can thrive and safely play.

A has been in recovery from alcohol dependency for twelve months and is doing really well rebuilding his life. He tells me that he had to leave the recovery home a month early, as his wife moved on to another man and left two teenage boys to fend for themselves. The home they are living is in desperate need of decorating, so it would be lovely if we could help him with funds to decorate a room, as he is trying so hard to make a home for the three of them to live in.
