£150 needed for energy bill arrears
B is an elder man with reduced mobility, who has had complications with his visa expiring, and being cut off from access to Universal Credit, and is now building up substantial arrears with his electricity provider. We have referred him to Praxis to help him get his settled status and this should be sorted in the coming months. We would be extremely grateful for any support to help B pay off his arrears, and reduce some of the stress that is having significant impact on his mental health.
£165 needed for an undercounter freezer
We are hoping to replace a freezer for a young care experienced adult that we are supporting. This is something she uses regularly to help her to manage her cooking and budget, enabling her to make different choices when buying food and also to keep portions for another time. She isn't currently able to afford to replace this herself as she is in receipt of Universal Credit. We would love to bless her with a new one as a way of showing her that we care for her and that she is not alone.
£200 needed for a new king size mattress
G has fled a violent relationship and is having to start again. She is a single mum and is also pregnant: her only income is from Universal Credit and she has no savings. Her partner ripped up most of her clothes and slashed the mattress on her bed, destroying it. This request is for a king size mattress to replace the one she has lost (luckily she still has the bed frame) and enable her to begin building a new life with her children. Thank you for reading this.
£170 needed for an electric cooker
This lady left her abusive relationship with her 2 children. After living in temporary accommodation she has been rehoused. She is paying off debts accrued by her former partner. She receives Universal Credit and child benefit so cannot afford essentials for her new home. Will you please help her get the essential cooker she needs. Thank you.
£200 needed for a trampoline
This single Mum with a 9 year old autistic daughter would love help funding a trampoline. Movement is a big part of A's sensory circuit and this family are not in a position to buy their own due to Mum's health needs and not being able to work. Your donation would mean A can regulate herself through exercise, and mum can enjoy quality time with her daughter.
£200 needed for a provisional licence and driving lessons
T is a young male who has recently moved into semi-independent accommodation, T is currently holding down a part time job whilst attending college and also setting up his new home. T hopes to continue with further education and would find driving a useful resource to help him manage this. T is looking to try and save up to begin driving. T is unable to afford a provisional licence or driving lessons himself.
£200 needed for translating key documents
This individual needs help with translating key documents for Home Office to be able to stay in this country. The person we are supporting is on a low income and cannot afford to pay for the translation of her documents. It would make a massive difference to have the reassurance that she can stay in this country and continue to build her new life. Many thanks for considering giving to this need.
£170 needed for a cooker delivery and installation and pots and pans
I had a short chat with D who had been homeless for many years. He has most recently spent almost 2 years in temporary accommodation and now for the first time has a flat of his own. He has been unable to work due to an ongoing mental health condition which at times results in hospitalisation. He remains hopeful for a new phase in his life and a cooker would be a great encouragement to him as he starts to furnish his new home. Thank you so much for reading this.
£150 needed for food and heating
A is a mum who is finding it hard to manage financially since the birth of her son last year. She works part time while her partner looks after their son, and it is hard to manage. Help towards groceries and the electricity bill would make a huge difference to their lives.
