£200 needed for a skip hire with a permit
A wonderful family would really appreciate having a skip to be able to help them with clearing out their house. Due to disabilities, Mum is not able to work and can't afford the extra payment of a skip. They would really love to be able to start sorting and clearing the backlog of items that, due to additional needs, they have not been able to work through. They will be supported to do this.
£140 needed for a laptop
We are, at present, supporting a man in his thirties who is seeking sanctuary in the UK having had to flee the turmoil in Sudan. He is very keen to study Computer Science in the UK as well as improving his English. A laptop would be a big help with this. It will help him to study and practice his English outside of formal classes and get on top of his Computer Science studies as he seeks to build a new life in a new country. Might you be able to help?
£200 needed for a cooker
K has recently been housed in our area, and is a victim of Domestic Violence. She has two children aged 6 and 9. She has no furniture or white goods in her home. She would be very grateful for any support you can give to provide her with a cooker in this time of crisis as they seek to start afresh.
£200 needed for a bed and mattress
A is a single mum to three children, the eldest two have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism but opposite levels of the spectrum, one is very quiet and does not like sounds or having people near him and needs a quiet space, the other is very lively and does not sleep at all. Mum is having to sleep in the lounge with her daughter so the boys have separate rooms. They are waiting for a larger council house but this could take time. One of the boys beds has broken slats and the mattress is soiled. Please can you help?
£150 needed for a single mattress
W and J both have severe health conditions and although they have a king sized bed they use two single mattresses which helps with W's back problems. Unfortunately both mattresses are now so old they don't give any support and the couple have asked if anyone can help. Their situation is quite dire in that they have carers in to help with the large amount of laundry due to one of their children being incontinent. This leaves no extra money to be able buy new mattresses.
£150 needed for a single mattress
Both W and his wife have serious health conditions and because of his back problems they use single mattresses. He is unable to afford a new mattress and the one he's currently sleeping on is very old and worn. This doesn't help his back at all. He pays towards carers to deal with his wife and children's laundry due to other problems in the household, this means that W is unable to afford to buy a new mattress for himself.
£200 needed for a cooker
C has been homeless for 2 years, since a family breakdown. Since then she has been "sofa surfing" with other family and friends. She has finally secured a new tenancy of her own, but she has now furniture and very possessions, and with her low income (Universal Credit) cannot afford to buy much. Your help to buy a cooker would mean she could at least cook and eat properly, rather than having to rely on cold food that doesn't require heating.
