£195 remaining for an urgent need for storage
B is an extremely vulnerable user of our Foodbank. After his wife passed away, he couldn't cope with his mental health or finances. B is now being evicted from the home. Merton Council will be rehoming him in three to four weeks and in the meantime he will be staying with a friend. B lives on benefits and has no way to pay for storage for his belongings during this time. This £200 will mean he does not lose all that he has. This is a request that does not have long. Please help if you can.
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.
