£0 remaining for wardrobes and a chest of drawers
This request is for a Syrian family who are living in temporary housing after fleeing their home country. They have the essentials of a cooker, washing machine and beds, but their clothes are in neatly folded piles on the floor and the six children have no toys or even full school uniforms. We would love to help them to at least have somewhere to store their clothes as they start their new life in the UK.

This forty five year old man was an HGV driver until he was diagnosed with a brain condition requiring urgent treatment, causing the loss of most of his eye sight, meaning he cannot work. He is working with Sense to assist with his loss of sight and his mental health is affected by this. This man wants to return to fishing, a childhood hobby, so he can get out of the house and be in nature. We believe the purchase of boots and waders is essential for his wellbeing, and is of primary importance to keep him engaged in his debt plan.
D receives Carers Allowance and is only allowed to earn less than £150 a week. She struggles with age-related illnesses including slipped discs, and the person she cares for has chronic physical and mental illnesses. D's health has deteriorated and it has come to light that she has been sleeping in her armchair, as the springs on her mattress have gone and she cannot afford to replace the mattress. This is the price of a mattress in Argos which is rolled and ready to collect immediately.
