£200 remaining for a three seater sofa
D, a single parent to a twelve year old boy, has custody of his son since he was a baby, as mum suffers with mental health issues. He works part-time, is on low income and struggles financially. On a recent home visit, it was noted that the place was quite sparse and the sofa in disrepair. A sofa will enable D and his son to relax on movie nights and spend quality father and son time together. It will also add to the environment by making the place homely and welcoming. Thank you very much.
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.
This lady, who is from Uganda, came to the UK in March this year to seek asylum. She is living alone and is in need of a phone for communication with her lawyer, and to use the phone map to help her find places. This lady's phone fell in water two months ago and she took it to a technician who said it wouldn't work again. She has been using the phone of a friend, but the friend has now moved. This lady has not had a phone for two months and cannot save to buy one as she only receives £8 a week.
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.
