£150 remaining for a hoover, wardrobe and bedside cabinet
Our client has recently left the family home after a breakdown of a twenty six year marriage. They have found a place to live and have received a few items to make the place more homely, but are currently using boxes and bags for their clothing, towels and bedding. They have a dustpan and brush to keep the place as clean as possible. We are asking for support to purchase a wardrobe and hoover, with a possibility to purchase a chest of drawers too.
P, who lives with her fifteen year old daughter, has been abused by her ex-partner, who is a violent alcoholic and manipulated his way into her home. The police destroyed the front door during a raid on the house and it is now boarded up, but needs replacing, however, P works on a minimum wage and has no savings as her ex-partner has taken her money. The replacement door will cost £768. £500 has been secured from the council and the church will contribute £68, but P is desperate for the remaining £200 to make her home safe.
S has worked hard to get to a point that he is ready to regain his independence. He could really benefit from some extra lessons before taking his test later this year. S is desperate to get his driving licence to open his job opportunities, as he has previously worked in highway maintenance and would like to get back into this sector. With employment, this will really set S on the road to be able to secure and maintain accommodation. Each lesson is an hour and a half long, and this will cover 4 lessons.
C has been battling with Universal Credit (UC) for months over help toward her rent. UC keep rejecting her requests for help so she has reached out to the Citizens Advice Bureau for help. C is currently unable to work due to poor mental health following being a victim of domestic abuse. She has three primary school aged children and is struggling to make ends meet. She is currently unable to have anymore Foodbank vouchers. Please may you consider supporting this family with some funds toward food whilst they receive help?
