£200 needed for a double bed and mattress
This bed frame and mattress are for a couple from Afghanistan who are moving in to their first home in York. These items will help them to set up a home, feel settled and comfortable. It will make a big difference to their lives to have these items. They are trying to source their own items but are struggling to meet the costs of everything they need. Many thanks for your help.
£200 needed for the hiring of a skip
A Social Care Practitioner has asked for help for a gentleman who urgently needs to clear his home. He lives with his daughter and, due to mobility difficulties, is confined to the middle floor of the house. He is also hard of hearing. Significant clutter has built up, affecting his health, safety, and wellbeing. After paying bills and buying groceries, they have around £150 left each fortnight and cannot afford to hire a skip. We are praying our kind and generous donors can help with the cost.
£170 needed for clothes and food
This 51 year old man has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been in and out of psychiatric units for many years. He now has a permanent place to live and is getting more support. He struggles to manage financially on a low income. Understanding how important a secure home is for his well-being, he is meticulous about paying his bills and will go without food in order to do so. He has been unable to buy any clothes and so he would be very grateful for help to buy new clothes and food.
£190 needed for a laptop
Our client is an asylum-seeker and a survivor of trafficking who is committed to improving their English. Resources and classes are available online and so having a laptop is essential to attend online lessons, complete learning exercises and practice English skills. This support would make a huge difference to help them improve English quickly. It also helps with integration into the community and access to future education and employment. The waiting time for English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL) classes is long and so accessing alternative study forms is vital.
£175 needed for a washing machine and fridge freezer
After fleeing domestic abuse T has been living in a room for the homeless. However, the Council has now offered her alternative accommodation, but she requires a washing machine and fridge freezer, which we are able to acquire for her through a local charity shop. T has extensive mental health issues and is awaiting an autism assessment. With the support she is receiving, it is hoped that moving into her new accommodation will enable her to live a happy and healthy abuse free life.
£150 needed for a washing machine
M is a single mum with two young children. Due to her circumstances, she is severely suffering from stress and is seeking support to get her through this time from a local women’s centre. However, her washing machine has now broken and she does not have the funds to purchase another one, which is having a large impact on her feeling of stress. If we can get the funds for this then we will be able to purchase another one for her from a local charity shop. Thank you.
£70 needed for drawers
A father, who is currently recovering from mental and physical health challenges, and his daughter have been moved into a new house with no household goods and require assistance with furniture. Having drawers will allow them to have a more welcoming home so they would be very grateful for any support they could receive in this regard.
£100 needed for a hoover
A young man who lives in supported accommodation is doing really well managing to run his household independently. He is working full time in a factory but is also paying into a debt management plan and money is tight. He needs a few basic items of equipment but especially a hoover in order to keep the small apartment clean and tidy. We have sourced a reconditioned one locally that can be delivered at a reasonable cost. Please would you consider contributing to this request?
£80 needed for a tabletop cooker
Our client is struggling on minimal benefits after being let go from a zero-hours contract. He has been seeking work for over a year now and turns up for every training course or opportunity offered, but he keeps getting let down. Please help us to secure him a new tabletop oven, as the one he has currently is on its last legs and has given him numerous shocks before, as well as drawing excess electricity, which, of course, he can not afford. Thanks for your consideration.
