£95 remaining for school jumper, shoes and a coat
S, a single dad with six children between the ages of eighteen months and fifteen years, lost his partner to cancer last year. He's been hit by the benefit cap with deductions to his Universal Credit which is now starting to cause financial hardship. We are currently working with S to find further help. One child, aged eleven, had detention due to not arriving in the correct school uniform; wrong shoes and jumper, and is also in need of a coat, so we really would like to help them with the proper clothing needed.
J, who has recently had a relationship breakdown, recently lost their mum, resulting in homelessness. With nowhere else to go and without access to benefits, these funds will allow for safe emergency accommodation for five nights in a hotel while figuring out the next necessary steps.
This woman, who was referred to us by the Social Prescriber, was forced to move from her flat, due to severe abuse and threatening behaviour from neighbours, which escalated to the point that the police became involved. In addition to this trauma, this woman suffers from multiple physical health problems, including spinal cauda equina. The only piece of furniture she was able to take with her is a fridge. We urgently request your assistance with a washing machine, including delivery and installation.
L, who fled an abusive relationship earlier in the year, and fell pregnant, has moved back to sleeping on her parents sofa, but then was offered a property. She has moved in and we have helped with lots of second-hand furniture, however, she has no cooker. L would really appreciate your support in helping to purchase a cooker so she can cook meals for herself and her little girl. She is currently reliant on Universal Credit so will not be able to afford to purchase a cooker. Many thanks.
