P suffers with mental health problems and is unfit for work. After spending time in supported accommodation, the family has now moved into its own property. Mum is having to sleep on the settee and the children are mostly staying with nearby relatives as they have no mattresses for their beds.

My client is a single mum with three children under the age of eight. She was in temporary accommodation for two years, after leaving an abusive partner. In the last few months, mum has been allocated a home which was in a bit of a state. She doesn't have the money to buy a freezer, which would save her money in the long term. Please can you help?

This lady desperately needs to sell her flat to clear substantial debts. She previously worked at Gatwick Airport, but a back fracture followed by a heart attack led to job loss and spiralling debts, in turn leading to anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. Since working with Christians Against Poverty, this lady has become a regular attender at our mid-week discipleship group and is slowly turning her life around. Money for man with van hire and an Energy Performance Certificate would be very much appreciated.

This Ukrainian family have settled well into UK life, however, they have had trouble with their heating system leading to it being constantly running without producing heat. This has obviously led to a big bill, despite them paying a reasonable amount month by month. Their energy company has bent over backwards to help, but they have still been left with arrears which they are paying off. This money, if raised, will serve to help towards this, decreasing the pressure they are under currently.

H is a single mother who is dedicated to providing the best for her children.

Struggling financially on a deficit budget, with two children who have learning needs, this family is seeking help. The youngest is wetting the bed every night and, although measures are in place, is still causing the bedding to be changed daily.

These are additional items which remain unaffordable for this family, but would bring a relief of stress.

SW is a twenty four year old asylum seeker who is currently living in a hotel with her younger sister. She has recently started college, but her phone has stopped working, which means she cannot access the college website to stay up to date with college work and communication.

This is all affecting her mental health quite a lot.

Our applicant is struggling for money to pay for gas and electric. The family, with three young children will be cut off or put into further debt in two days time. This will be repeated unless mum can put extra onto the account to clear arrears from last month when she was in the same position.
