£200 needed for bedding, bedside lamps, crockery and cutlery
Due to family circumstances, S has moved into her grandchildren's home to take care of them. There are a number of items needed, including bedding for all the children, bedside lamps, a dinner set and cutlery. This move to support the children in their own home has been a big challenge and is having financial implications, as they live in a different town and it is taking time to sort out the financial support needed for them.
£200 needed for a house move
This lady has significant mental and physical health issues including the loss of the majority of her sight. She has been living for some time in a multi-level town house which is simply not ideal for her needs. Thankfully, this lady has been offered a fully adapted property which will be far more suitable for her. However, she is struggling to meet the full cost of moving. This funding, if raised, will help her to do so by paying for a local ‘man with a van’ to carry this out for her.
£170 needed for shoes for orthotic soles, a winter coat and warm clothes
G, a fifty eight year old single migrant, is diabetic, has arthritis and is waiting for a knee replacement. She has been prescribed orthotic insoles, but needs good quality shoes before she can have them fitted. G would love to have some help to buy these and to get some warm clothing for the winter. She is homeless, but stays with different members of her congregation who also help sometimes with small amounts of money for which she is very grateful, but she doesn't want to ask them for more.
£200 needed for duvets, pillows and bedding, a microwave, air-fryer and kitchen items
M is a UK citizen, raising four young children alone as his wife is stranded in Afghanistan. He is disabled and receives Pension Credit so is really struggling both practically and financially. We are supporting him to get his wife here to help take care of the family. M has recently received funds for a washing machine, for which he is over the moon, but he is in desperate need of bedding and kitchen items including a microwave, air-fryer, pans and crockery. M is very thankful for any support as he has nothing.
£200 needed for a hoover and a bed frame
K is a registered blind, working solo mum who is raising two young people, and caring for a rescue cat and dog, on a low income. Her vacuum recently broke, and with a fully carpeted home, she has been sweeping by hand to keep up with the pet hair. K has also been sleeping on a mattress on the floor since her bed broke over a year ago. She never complains and always puts her family first, but a new hoover and bed would make a world of difference - helping her keep her home clean, comfortable and dignified.
£150 needed for a voucher for food and toiletries
This husband and father of one is between jobs and struggling with everyday expenses and debts that have built up. We are hoping to assist with his debts and ensure they are in receipt of all the help they are entitled to, but it can take some time to do this. Could you possibly help this family with a voucher so that they can afford food and essentials, whilst we support them with their debts, to get them back on track and whilst dad hopefully finds a new job? Thank you
£130 needed for an under-counter fridge
A, who was recently referred to our homelessness prevention project, is a young man who has fled war and persecution. He has been housed in shared accommodation where he really needs an under-counter fridge to preserve his food. This is an essential item that would make a massive, positive impact on his daily life. A, who is on a very low income, is currently volunteering a few times a week whilst looking for a job, but his current income is not sufficient to meet his essential needs. Thank you.
£200 needed for a washing machine
S is a fifty nine year old single woman who lives alone and has been abstinent from alcohol for fifteen months now after a lifetime of misuse. We are supporting her with mental health and a future move to supported housing, as her present housing is sub-standard and she has care needs. S has a washing machine that is ten years old and has been repaired twice in the past, but has now finally given up. She is a proud lady and your support would make such a difference to her.
£200 needed for an oven
L, who presented to our homeless day centre back in March this year, has since been working with us to remove any obstacles in his way to getting off the streets. We have finally been able to move him into his very own studio flat, which is a huge answer to prayer, due to his sleep apnea. The flat is totally empty and so we are doing all we can to help L kit out his new place. He really needs an oven to be able to cook nutritious meals!
