This lady came to us in urgent need of support, struggling with her mental health and had no access to food. At St Vincent de Paul, we have been working closely with this lady to address her most immediate needs, such as providing clothing and food. We now feel she is ready to take the next step in her journey through one-on-one counselling sessions, which will empower her to regain stability and confidence. We graciously request your assistance to help make this possible and any support would be deeply appreciated for six counselling sessions.

E, who has been seriously ill, has moved to be closer to her daughter to receive support. Unfortunately, the removal firm failed to take all of her items, leaving a lot of them behind. The council has disposed of everything, resulting in E losing her wardrobe, all of her crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils and bedding. E was looking forward to her new life. Being able to replace the lost items would be beneficial to her physical and mental health, and enable her to fully settle in to her new home.

S is a recently bereaved gentleman who is struggling with the transition of managing everything himself. He is working with a Foodbank debt worker to help him cope on his own and to deal with debts related to the death of his wife. S, who suffers with epilepsy and lung disease, is struggling to prepare meals as his epilepsy means it is dangerous for him to use the gas oven, which he has on fire. S would love to buy an air fryer to enable him to cook safely, but just cannot afford it.

L is a single parent with a six year old son who is renting a room with a shared bathroom and kitchen. Mum, who came to the UK to escape sexual violence, and is HIV positive, has no recourse to public funds. The rooms are damp and inadequately heated, which exacerbates her health problems, so having heating that she can control would greatly improve their wellbeing. The only saucepan in the kitchen is small and L would like to be able to bulk cook their meals for the week, as she is keen to improve their diet.

F is a single mum who was fled a war torn country and been granted refugee status in the UK. She has been living in temporary accommodation and hotels, but has now been granted a home for her and her daughter.

We have an offer of free carpets that will make all the difference to F and the health of her child, but need your help with the fitting costs. Thanks in advance for reading this.
