£0 remaining for a smart phone
I am working with a disadvantaged woman who has experienced domestic abuse and is now trying to recover in the UK whilst seeking asylum. She is on a very low income, currently having no recourse to public funds, but is trying extremely hard to get back onto her feet; she is very proactive and wants to get back into study and work. This woman currently needs a smart phone which will enable her to stay connected, keep in touch with her support network, use emails and keep track of and apply for jobs.
Our client is a child who has recently arrived from Afghanistan to reunite with the rest of his family here in the UK. Their family is solely living off of the eldest brother's benefits and is currently struggling greatly with living expenses. They need help with essentials such as food and winter clothes (jackets, jumpers and shoes) which can be costly. Additionally, we will use a portion of these funds to top up their oyster card and provide them with vouchers to spend on other necessities.
C is a 43 year old gentleman with disabilities who is also battling to overcome addiction issues. He has recently been re-homed for a fresh start, however he has limited funds to start his new life. He really needs a bedding set including a duvet and cover, a pillow, pillowcase and a sheet. We will order the items for him with a view to helping with his fresh start.
K is a single mum with two boys under 10 years old, both with special needs. Her only income is benefits and she is unable to afford to buy winter school uniforms and pay her energy bills. Would you please help K so that she can buy some school jumpers, trousers & shoes to see her boys through the school year?
