£105 remaining for winter clothing and shoes
A is an asylum seeker from Pakistan who felt that she had to leave her home country as she was receiving death threats from family members. This is because she did not want to be forced into marriage, but wanted to have a career of her own. A does not have any clothes or shoes suitable for a British winter, and we would like to buy her a coat, a pair of shoes, a pair of jeans, some leggings and some underwear.
Z, who has arrived in the UK from Iran, would like to have a sewing machine. She is unable to afford most clothing items and would like to make them herself, as well as mend her children outfits. She is also wanting to spend her time in sewing, as it keeps her occupied and help her to feel better in herself, rather than feeling bored and depressed. Z is on Universal Credit so couldn't afford one otherwise.
A, who would like to buy a laptop, is unable to afford one due to not being employed and on Universal Credit. She has put a bit of money aside towards one and this donation would go towards paying for the rest. It would help A with studying and to do her English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) course.
Z is an asylum seeker from Iran who is accompanied by her husband and two daughters, aged ten and two. They fled Iran because they had converted from Islam to Christianity and their lives had been threatened. The whole family needs winter clothes, winter shoes and underwear. They would also like some toys for their daughters as they are struggling with the transition to life in Home Office accommodation.
