£130 needed for three months' gym membership
S, who has been waiting over two years for his refugee status, has been unable to work or claim benefits this whole time. His mental health is severe which means he struggles to get involved in many activities, and has very little money to support him day to day. S relies on charities and his volunteer host to help him when they can. He has asked for some help with joining a gym, which will give him some independence and help to improve his mental health.
£150 needed for a microwave and kitchen equipment
Our applicant is an asylum seeking lady from El Salvador who has been granted permission to remain in the UK with her four year old daughter. They have been moved out of Home Office accommodation and into a Local Authority house which is completely unfurnished. Mum has reached out to us requesting a microwave, kettle and toaster, pans, crockery, cutlery and utensils. Your kindness will be greatly appreciated to help this mum and her young daughter.
£150 needed for a washing machine
This lady is a young mum who was severely affected when her washing machine broke down, following an ongoing struggle to meet her basic bills. Unfortunately, it cannot be repaired. Mum had to move in with her partner's mum, and the stress of being away from her own home made her mental health take a dip. A new machine would restore mum's independence, allowing her to look after her baby and keep him clean and safe. Please can you help her?
£200 needed for accommodation and a food parcel
This man has been referred to us by the mental health team. He is visibly exhausted and has expressed feeling emotionally drained. Additionally, he has engaged in self-harm, prompting intervention. He is not safe on the streets, as he is a highly vulnerable individual with deteriorating mental health. The St Vincent de Paul centre is currently collaborating with all the relevant personnel. in addition, we are urgently seeking your assistance with a food parcel and to house this gentleman for three nights in a bed and breakfast.
£200 needed for a cooker
This gentleman, who is disabled, is a carer for his son. His health has recently deteriorated, both physically and mentally, and he has had numerous problems to overcome. When his cooker unexpectantly broke down, he was at his wit's end as he did not have the money to replace it and it was so old that it could not be fixed. A new cooker would make the world of difference to father and son, enabling them to get back on track and maintain their self-sufficiency. Can you help him please?
£200 needed for a living room carpet
Our client, J, was homeless and is now housed in a small flat. The living room has a bare concrete floor and they need a carpet for this, but are struggling to afford it. At the moment, they cannot work because they have mental health issues, and are having to manage on Personal Independence Payment and incapacity benefits. Having a decent carpet in the living room would make their flat feel much more like a home.
£200 needed for accommodation
This individual has recently been released from prison and his accommodation is currently unavailable. The processing period for securing accommodation is expected to take a few days. In the meantime, he remains street homeless and there is concern that staying on the streets may lead to a temptation to reoffend, due to living conditions. We are reaching out for your assistance in temporarily housing him for four nights in a bed and breakfast to provide time for a permanent solution to be arranged.
£150 needed for armchairs
This couple have just moved into a new flat, but have very little furniture. The lady is six months pregnant so needs something comfortable to sit on. They are due to receive a bed soon from Carezone, a local Christian run second-hand furniture store. They receive Universal Credit, but have no spare money to buy armchairs. Please would you help them to make their flat more comfortable, especially as they prepare for the baby's arrival? Thank you.
