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.

G, who has been ill with various illnesses that have come about as a result of poor accommodation, has to be careful about which jobs he applies for because he cannot do strenuous work. He has felt let down in the past and now that he has found organisations that are supporting him, he is looking to the future. G's debts are now nearly under control, but he is finding it hard without a working mobile phone. Please can you support him with £90 for a Smart phone so that he can keep up to date with emails, job searches and finances? This would be a huge help to G and give him a much better quality of life.

J, who lives on her own and receives benefits, is subject to the benefit cap, due to high rent. She has managed to maintain her rent, but it leaves her with very little to live on and she has to use food banks for support. J has multiple health problems and is currently not putting her heating on as she can't afford to top-up, so is very cold. She isn't able to have a washing machine so has extra costs for this as well. Your support to assist her with a food voucher and heating would be really helpful to her.
