£200 needed for a voucher for decoration supplies
We’re looking for a Wilko voucher to help create a bedroom that feels safe and suitable for a young girl. At the moment, her bedroom doesn’t meet her needs. Mum has health needs and is in and out of hospital, which can leave things feeling unsettled at home. Dad is caring for Mum and their daughters full time, and Mum has ongoing hospital stays that make finances difficult. Her younger daughter has additional needs and would really benefit from having a calm, appropriate space of her own.
£200 needed for a sofa and wardrobe
This client is an asylum seeker who first claimed asylum in 2019 and is still waiting for a decision. She also has a daughter with mental health difficulties who ended up being referred to child and adolescent mental health services. They had lived in poor accommodation where she found a dead rat and her ceiling collapsed and very recently got a new flat which is unfurnished and is in need of a sofa and wardrobe.
£110 needed for a TV and DVD player
Ms S is currently in interim accommodation having slept rough for months. She was homeless due to fleeing domestic violence and is receiving support for addiction. She has been sober for several weeks now and able to see her children through supervised visits. This ongoing stress and boredom in the temporary accommodation are ingredients for a potential relapse. We have sourced a basic phone for her but a TV and DVD player will aid her mental health and recovery. Thank you for considering this.
£200 needed for a double bed and mattress
Our foodbank client, P, is a single mum who has finally got her own flat after waiting more than six years for a two bedroom flat for herself and her child. She has long term health and mental health issues. She is unable to work and needs help to be able to furnish her flat. Could you please help her get a bed frame and mattress so she has somewhere to sleep?
£200 needed for a sofa
K has been staying with her son, but sleeping on a two seater sofa for two and a half years. She has a number of health concerns including osteoarthritis in spine and hips. She recently found a flat but there is limited furniture. She is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment which covers necessary costs but she is unable to purchase furniture. We are requesting support to purchase a sofa as there is no furniture in living area. Can you help make a house a home?
£200 needed for a vacuum, blender, and wardrobe
I am supporting a lovely young woman who is rebuilding her life after a serious domestic abuse incident. She has come really far but is still dealing with the trauma of the incident. She is trying to make her home nice as it helps with her wellbeing and she is trying to focus on her physical and emotional health. In order to help her with this, she would like a vacuum to help with cleaning her place, a blender to focus on healthy food and a wardrobe to help with storage and tidiness. Thank you.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
P was released from prison recently and has now been allocated a flat. He has nothing at all and has only £400/month to live on. We are trying to find him what he needs. A fridge freezer will make a huge difference to his ability to store food and therefore cut down his costs of daily buying. He is turning his life around and we want to be able to help him in the process and show that there is support for him. Could we help him with this? Thank you!
£200 needed for a washing machine
Our client's washing machine has broken and is causing her flat to be flooded. This is causing the client to become very distressed as she is not in the position financially to cover this unexpected cost following financial abuse from her partner. Please can you help get her a new washing machine? This would provide the client with dignity in having clean clothing.
£200 needed for emergency travel costs
We have a resident moving out of supported accommodation into a private flat, which he will be sharing with his adult daughter. As part of this move, our resident needs to repatriate his daughter back to the South West from a domestic abuse relationship she is attempting to leave. She suffers from multiple sclerosis, does not drive, and has limited access to funds. The round trip is 684 miles. We are asking for donations toward fuel costs, car hire, and an overnight stay for the return trip.
