£120 remaining for a waterproof coat, jogging bottoms, sweat shirt and t-shirt
JM is an asylum seeker and care leaver who has been street homeless for over seven years. JM is rough sleeping and spends many hours out of doors in all weathers. He has no change of clothes and people tell him he is smelling, because of this he feels rejected and depressed. When it rains heavily he sometimes comes into the centre to shelter from the rain. He has no money for laundry or fresh clothes and would dearly love to have a waterproof coat and a clean set of clothes.
S is an asylum seeker who fled from Kurdistan in Iraq with her mother because of religious and family conflicts. Her family also wanted her to marry a cousin, a man much older than her. They live in a hotel where the food provided is inadequate, S has no recourse to funds for buying food and clothes, and her mother has been ill. Please would you help to bring change to their lives? Thank you.
S has recently moved to South London after receiving her refugee status, following a prolonged asylum claim. She is from Somalia and has been living in the UK since 2023. S would love to learn how to swim and this is one of her goals. We are aiming to raise £60 for swimming lessons for S. Any donations are much appreciated.
P had to leave her accommodation, due to personal safety issues, and lost all her belongings in the process. She is unable to work, due to mental and physical health problems, including sciatica and arthritis. These are being aggravated by her only having a blow-up bed to sleep on at present, and she has nowhere comfortable to sit. P awaits the outcome of her Personal Independence Payment application. A sofa bed would dramatically improve her quality of life and help her have the strength to deal with her situation.
