£125 remaining for a rent top-up
This single mum, who has three children, including a four month old baby, is changing over to Universal Credit (UC) in mid October. Money is very short, as she pays £200 a month top-up on her rent. Mum is really concerned as to how she will get through the wait until her UC is paid. SMILE Faithworks has worked with her on a budget, is helping with food and applying to reduce or freeze bills were possible. We are seeking £200 to prevent mum going into debt with her rent, due to changing over to UC.
C is a single lady who has had a traumatic life experience, using substances as a coping mechanism. She has been homeless and has recently been rehoused in a house of multiple occupancy, engaging with support services to deal with her trauma. C was recently robbed by so-called "friends" who took her iPhone, which she used for face-timing her son. C, who is unable to work and dependent on benefits, with no savings, is distressed that she can't make contact with her autistic son who lives with her auntie.
J, his wife and child, have been served notice and are desperately trying to find somewhere to live. They are finding it very difficult to find a private rented property, due to having substantial debts. They have reached out to Citizens Advice for help to find the best debt solution, however, for the time being they are struggling to afford the basics. Please would you consider helping this family with some funds towards food and energy whilst they receive help? Thank you.
