£150 needed for a wardrobe
We are currently supporting a family who have very little storage in their home. With finances being stretched, mum is not able to afford a wardrobe to store her children's clothing. There are piles of clothes on the stairs which are a trip hazard. We would love to be able to bless this young mum with a wardrobe to provide the storage she needs. Please would you consider just making a small donation towards this as this would make a huge difference to this family. Thank you so much.
£180 needed for clothes and food
M is a single man with health problems. He has had surgery on his shoulder and had a recent fall which has left him in pain and with reduced mobility. He is more isolated as a result and suffers with low mood. As a migrant he cannot claim benefits and he is unable to work. He has no money for food and visits foodbanks when he can. His clothing is now very worn and he has nothing for the winter. He would be very grateful for any help to buy food and winter clothing.
£250 needed for a washing machine
Our client has recently lost their mum which has affected their mental health. They are trying to get work but are struggling to find a job due to their age (a couple of years from retirement) and this is leaving them short on money. They have been through a lot and to top it off they have had a house fire which wiped out a lot of their possessions. We would like to provide them with a new washing machine so that they can be ready for interviews and to support them recovering from the fire.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
E has recently moved from temporary furnished accommodation into a permanent social housing property with her two young children, aged 8 and 4. As she had to leave most furnishings behind, she has very few household essentials. A fridge freezer would enable her to safely store food, reduce costly daily shopping trips, and provide greater stability for the family as they settle into their new home. Your support would make a significant difference.
£250 needed for a fridge/freezer
D is an unemployed single mum living on benefits. ( she is unable to work due to health conditions). Recently her fridge/freezer broke down and it is unable to be repaired. D is well known to us, often attending events run by our church and we would like to help her purchase a new fridge/freezer to enable her to manage her meal planning and food management.
£200 needed for driving lessons
As a refugee building a new life in the UK, the client is committed to improving his future prospects. He is currently unemployed and attending college while actively exploring employment opportunities. He has booked his practical test but cannot afford a block of lessons. A driving licence would open doors to jobs currently out of reach, helping him overcome barriers to employment, become more independent and work towards a stable, self-sufficient future.
£140 needed for supermarket vouchers and a top up for his oyster card
B is a single man in his late 50's and he has been out of work for 10 months. His confidence and belief in himself have been knocked. B is not in the best of health and he is finding it hard to eat well. He is worried about the coming cold weather. B is relying on food bank top ups. Some of the other free food services are too far for him to travel to and he cannot afford bus fares. He has difficulties walking due to damage to his legs from when he was homeless. Please could you support this man with a supermarket voucher and a top up on an Oyster card for the bus?
