£200 needed for a cooker and a fridge freezer
This man's brother was recently killed in a car accident in Nigeria. Our client, who was in shock, hastily went to Nigeria for the funeral, only to return to find his employer had let him go. None of his white goods are working, but with no work and delays with Universal Credit, he has no way of replacing them. This man is still emotionally distraught, finding it difficult to speak properly about these troubles. A replacement cooker and fridge freezer would be such a help to him.
£175 needed for a double bed frame
I had a chat with our client, who confirmed he is very much in need of a double bed frame. He had been living in a hostel, but unfortunately suffered a stroke. At this point he was admitted to hospital and eventually discharged when allocated a short term tenancy. Our client, however, has a fairly empty flat, and a good bed is essential for enabling his recovery and to pick up his life again. As he is on Universal Credit, he is unable to purchase the item without help. Thank you for reading this.
£200 needed for a vented tumble dryer
T is a single mum to three children who is being supported by the Early Intervention in Psychosis Team, as she struggles with voices. She also suffers from severe pain, due to fibromyalgia, which means she is unable to work. T's mum helps her multiple times a day as her pain often leaves her bedridden. She struggles in particular with hanging out her washing, of which there is a lot for the family, due to the pain, so a dryer would really ease that burden, but she cannot afford one on her benefits.
£200 needed for mattresses and bedding
S, his wife and three children, aged 4,10 and 13, are refugees who fled from Syria because of the war there and threats of violence. They have been housed in shared accommodation, which is unfurnished, and they were unable to bring any possessions with them. The family hopes to make a new life here but is currently dealing with the trauma and uncertainties of the last years. Their most urgent need is for mattresses to sleep on and bedding, and they would be very grateful for any support you can give.
£200 needed for a sofa and a coffee table
S, a young lady who has moved into semi independent living, had a breakdown in family relationships. She is learning to manage her mental health and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. S struggles to relax and spends most of her time busy attending judo, with horses, walking, and helping out with the local scout hut. She claims Universal Credit which only covers the bills and food shop. S would greatly benefit from a sofa and a coffee table to create a space, enabling her to learn to relax and spend some social/down time.
£150 needed for an emergency food voucher
Our client came to us for support after recently securing safe and affordable accommodation. He had been working for a short time, but was unfortunately laid off. While awaiting benefits and searching for new employment, he is struggling to pay for food and bills. This support would allow us to provide a food voucher to cover him for the next three weeks, ensuring he does not go hungry and can stay on his feet while waiting for his benefits to begin.
£200 needed for a sofa and a coffee table
D, a young father who has moved into semi-independent living, is currently trying to provide a space for his children to spend some quality family time with him. He is only claiming Universal Credit which covers the bills and food shopping, but leaves no disposable income. D would benefit greatly from a sofa and a coffee table to create space for him and the children to enjoy some quality family time together.
£200 needed for a sofa, pots, pans, crockery and a toaster
V is a single mother of two young children who is also an asylum seeker who has just joined our community and is in dire need of a sofa for her children, who have no where to sit in the house apart from their beds. Mum also needs pots, pans, plates and a toaster.
£65 needed for an Irish passport
I am working with a woman who has struggled with her mental health and domestic abuse, and has recently re-connected with her daughter again and is able to have visits overnight. Having a passport would allow them to go on holiday and have a break together. Any donations would be much appreciated.
