Safe Families are supporting an 11 year old girl, who has been reunited with her mum following a period of time in foster care. The family are doing well and they have recently moved house; Mum is working really hard to make the house into a home. She would like to be able to cook meals for her daughter but the family are struggling financially. Please could you help this family with some donations towards a cooker as they make a fresh start? Thank you so much.

W was made homeless due to the breakdown of a relationship over a year ago, and since then he has been living in a graveyard. He has just got his first ever real home, but he has absolutely nothing except a sleeping bag and clothes donated by church. He has been given a bed which he’s absolutely delighted with, church is helping with a kettle, toaster and microwave and neighbours have given him some bits of furniture. He is still waiting on his benefits to be sorted. The floors are concrete and cold, and he would be so grateful for your help to put some carpet down.

J, who has been a guest with us for a little while, was recently remanded in custody for a short while for historic charges, in order for the court to be able to obtain a pre-sentence report. Whilst in custody, his bike, some clothes and other items were stolen from his property. J is an enthusiastic part of our community and has really embraced the Love of Jesus, the support on offer, and really enjoys volunteering at The Message Trust. However, he feels deflated that his belongings have been stolen. A replacement bike would help him to get to appointments.
