£50 remaining for running shoes
R, a care leaver who came to the UK as a child seeking asylum, is an avid runner which helps to maintain their mental health. However, they don't have a suitable pair of trainers at the moment so are running marathons with inappropriate footwear which is causing them physical pain. They cannot afford to buy new trainers, yet they also cannot afford to stop running. Please would you donate so that R can keep running?
This elderly, diabetic asylum seeker has been in the UK for thirteen years. Originally caring for her sister's children, she has suffered mistreatment. In a Local Authority hotel after rough sleeping, she lacks funds, cooking or washing facilities, and also needs diabetic appropriate food for the next few weeks, clothing and toiletries. Pending a schedule 10 application for asylum support and permanent housing, this lady (at the age of seventy seven) remains extremely vulnerable. Funds would restore some dignity and stability, pending her Home Office decision.
S is an asylum seeker from Iran who is here with her partner and her five month old daughter. Her phone broke around a month ago so, since then, her and her partner have been sharing a phone. S needs a phone to be able to learn to study English, navigate around her new home city, answer important emails and stay in touch with friends and family.
N loves to try and keep active and wants to learn to swim. She has been in the UK for 16 years and has been destitute, therefore unable to afford a gym membership. She has now moved to a hosting placement in South London and is now close to a leisure centre. With your support she could sign up to the leisure centre for 3 months which would allow her to keep herself active whilst she waits for her asylum claim to be resolved. Doing exercise really helps with her mental health.
