£0 remaining for winter clothing and shoes
S is an asylum seeker from Pakistan who is in the UK with his wife and three children under the age of six. They fled Pakistan because their lives were in danger due to a dispute, partly as a result of their decision to marry one another rather than agreeing to arranged marriages. S's mother-in-law and father-in-law were murdered and the family was threatened. None of the family has adequate clothing or shoes for a British winter and we would like to provide them.
