M is an older lady who works part time and is in receipt of Universal Credit. Due to mobility issues she had to reduce her working hours. She has been in very unsuitable unfurnished temporary accommodation for a number of years but has now been offered the opportunity to move to sheltered housing. She will need to buy white goods and other furniture but has no savings and is also burdened with overdrafts and credit card debt. Can you help M to purchase some essentials for her new home?

T recently managed to bring his two kids to the UK after a long separation period. However, T had to provide adequate accommodation, which he managed to rent and pay the deposit for, and this has left him struggling financially. T requests your help so he can buy bunk beds and mattresses for his two kids.

N has had a tough year and recently was in a nasty car accident and the fallout has meant that she has no money until December. She urgently needs to pay a £100 utility bill- if she doesn't, the arrangement she was on where they match her payments will fail and she will be in major financial problems. She also desperately needs new glasses and even with her benefits she isn't going to be able to afford them and she is stressed at not being able to see. These cost £80. Please can we help?

K fled from domestic violence, leaving everything behind. She has been in temporary accommodation but has now been given her own flat, but it is completely empty. She has been able to get furniture second hand, but not any carpet. As she is on benefits and a tight budget she cannot see herself getting any carpet for some time. She would love to be able to make the main room a comfortable warm space by having a carpet. Any help you can give would be gratefully received.

Our beneficiary is a young mother with two children under six years, who is struggling to pay off historic debts whilst trying to keep up with current bills. She is on a low income and receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment. The family is being supported by Family Solutions. The current cooker is more than 15 years old and beyond repair. We would like to raise funds towards making a proper functioning cooker a reality, so that the family can have a wider range of dishes.

This family have just moved into new accommodation. C is a lone parent who is living with her two young children and receiving Universal Credit and Child Benefit. She had to flee her family home, due to domestic abuse, and moved temporarily into a single room in a hotel, but has now secured permanent accommodation. At this stressful time, C would greatly benefit from some donations towards bedroom furniture, namely three chests of drawers and two pairs of curtains, to help make a home for her children.

G is about to be discharged from hospital and has nowhere to go. His relationship has broken down and he has been evicted from his home. We are hoping the Council will be able to house him in temporary accommodation as soon as possible. Citizens Advice are doing what they can to help as he has a number of debts and has just been hit with a huge tax bill, so has no money to buy food. Could you please consider supporting this gentleman with a voucher towards food, drink and toiletries? Thank you.

E, a single disabled mum of two disabled children, is drowning in debt. Citizens Advice have advised that the best course of action to tackle her debts is to go bankrupt, but it costs a lot of money, money that E does not have. Please may you consider supporting this family with £200 toward the £680 bankruptcy fee so that they can rid themselves of the worry and stress of being in debt for good? Thank you so much.

B is a recently single mom of three children. She has managed to rent a small flat and needs to buy a second hand bunk bed for the children, because there is not enough space in the room to fit two beds. B lives on a limited income, so she needs your help to be able to afford the bunk beds.

A, a vulnerable gentleman, has had his phone cut off, having gotten into £30 of arrears. The company have now added a £200 fee for early termination of his contract and it is with a debt collector. A's phone is vital, he has multiple health issues including mental health problems. Citizens Advice have contacted the supplier to ask they put a hold on the debt so it does not increase. Please may you consider helping this gentleman to get his phone back? Thank you.

W was made homeless due to the breakdown of a relationship over a year ago, and since then he has been living in a graveyard. He has just got his first ever real home, but he has absolutely nothing except a sleeping bag and clothes donated by church. He has been given a bed which he’s absolutely delighted with, church is helping with a kettle, toaster and microwave and neighbours have given him some bits of furniture. He is still waiting on his benefits to be sorted. The floors are concrete and cold, and he would be so grateful for your help to put some carpet down.

K fled her home country with her mother who she cares for. Her mother has complex health issues and is dependent on K for most of her daily needs. A sewing machine would help bring K joy, peace and a sense of accomplishment to her daily routine. K enjoys creating new patterns and styles. She is on Universal Credit so has little money for anything outside of essentials.

N loves to try and keep active and wants to learn to swim. She has been in the UK for 16 years and has been destitute, therefore unable to afford a gym membership. She has now moved to a hosting placement in South London and is now close to a leisure centre. With your support she could sign up to the leisure centre for 3 months which would allow her to keep herself active whilst she waits for her asylum claim to be resolved. Doing exercise really helps with her mental health.

W was self employed until an injury left him with a disability and he is no longer able to work; he is now in receipt of benefits. He shares custody of his two young children with his previous partner. His washing machine has just broken and is not viable to fix, and with young children to support and a limited budget W is struggling with launderette fees. He would really appreciate any support you can give to enable him to get a new one. W is being supported by his local Food Bank.

L is father of a 14 month old boy, and is expecting a baby daughter with his partner on New Year’s Eve. Their only household income is Universal Credit. Their flat is provided by the council and has suffered damp and mould problems which has affected their furniture, including beds and carpets. They are worried about the living room carpet, which now needs replacing for safety reasons, particularly ahead of the arrival of the new baby. Any contributions to a new carpet would be greatly appreciated.

W has been living in one of our supported properties for approximately one year; he engages well with our service and is regularly in employment, but has fallen on hard times as his employer needed to downsize and he lost his job. W is now claiming Universal Credit, so is finding it difficult to pay for everything that he needs. He recently lost his smartphone which he needs to access his Universal Credit journal and his recruitment apps.

O has lived in her home for the last two years with her little girl. The property has no carpets in the bedrooms or hall, stairs and landing. This is unsafe for her small child, as well as making the house feel really damp. O, who isn't working, has no savings or family to support her and simply can't afford the high cost of carpeting her home. Carpets would mean the world to O and her daughter. Can someone please help?

N, a young woman who has completed rehabilitation and is making great progress, is settling in really well to volunteering at Glasgow City Mission. She now has her new flat, but before she can fully move in, needs flooring for it, especially for her hallway, bathroom and lounge, not least because the flooring is not in great shape. N would be really grateful if she could get help with this, so that she can fully move in and continue to create a stable home that will continue to help her thrive.

L is a single mum of six children, the youngest of whom is just five months old and mum has some health conditions involving her heart. Her washing machine is a much used and needed facility with two teenagers, two toddlers, a baby and a nine year old. There is always a lot of washing and she is struggling without one. There is no spare money to buy one because of the increase in rent, heating and food bills, and L is on a low income. A working machine would make an incredible difference to this family.

A is a single mum of three children whose violent husband was removed by Social Services. He left her with large rent arrears that, with Christians Against Poverty's help, she is tackling, but mum needs help paying her bills. Your donation will help her top-up A's electricity and gas for the winter, and a small part will go towards her phone bill.
