£200 needed for food shopping
Our debt client is on a very low income and due to operations on both hands has been told she can’t go back to work for a few weeks. There is no sick pay due to the contract she is on. She will struggle with accessing foodbank as she cannot lift anything. We would love to ask for your help so she could do online food shopping while she recovers from the operation, this would be an incredible help and blessing to her and her family.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
A has been forced to flee a violent relationship: she suffered years of physical, emotional and financial abuse. She has 2 small children and has been living in a refuge for over 6 months. A property has now become available but the policy of the social landlord is not to provide carpets - A simply can't afford them due to her income only being from benefits. We'd love to be able to carpet her house and make it a home. Really hoping a kind Acts donor will come to her rescue.
£200 needed for carpet
Thanks to wonderful Acts435 donors our debt client now has a carpeted bedroom and we would love for her sitting room to also have a carpet. Although she is in work she lives on a low income and her budget has become very tight due to her rent almost doubling since she moved in only a few years ago. This last bit of carpet will help her keep her flat warm and hopefully mean she can spend less on heating.
£200 needed for floor covering
N is a single mum to two boys, one of which has special education needs. She is a client of Christians Against Poverty (CAP). She currently does not have any flooring in her accommodation so she would be grateful to receive some large rugs to cover some of her home.
£170 needed for an ottoman double bed
Mum and two sons live together in a 2 bedroom place. However, as the boys are not able to share, Mum is sleeping on the couch, and one of the boys is sleeping on a mattress on the floor as the family can't afford to buy a bed. Mum would really love to buy him an Ottoman bed so he has a bed frame to sleep on and as they struggle for storage!
£200 needed for a cooker
R has recently been granted refugee status and is awaiting his Universal Credit payment. He has secured a council house; however, he cannot afford to furnish it and, therefore, cannot yet move in. R, his wife, requires a cooker. This financial support would be really appreciated to assist him in moving into his new home as quickly. He was able to buy a washing machine from a charity but he also needs to buy a cooker this will cost about £200 Thank you
£200 needed for car repairs
R is a single parent of three children and has recently escaped a domestically violent relationship. She has been relocated to the area and has been struggling to stabilise her life and family during her time in our church. Her car recently broke down and this is another challenge for her to overcome. She uses her car everyday for the families needs and for community activity involvement. She feels trapped in her home as this freedom has been removed since her car broke down. This is also causing her mental health to deteriorate.
£150 needed for television and furniture delivery
S and his family are refugees that have been accommodated by Serco. Although the basics in the property have been provided, there are a number of furniture items that they are unable to support with. We have sourced most of these items from a charity but there is a delivery charge as they are a Rochdale based charity and having to deliver to Oldham. The delivery is £90 due to the number of items requested. The family of 5 are also without a TV and £60 is requested to purchase a secondhand TV.
£200 needed for a new bed and bedding
Our client is fifty six and suffers from multiple health issues, she has come for support with debt advice as she is longing for a fresh start free from debt, she is terrified the bailiffs will come to her door as they keep sending her threatening letters. M is unable to work and relies on benefits including disability benefit. Once M has paid her rent and bills she has little left for household items. Her bed has been broken for some time with the springs sticking out of the mattress. Please can you help her get a new one? Thank you
