It's meant that he can stay warm without worrying about high heating bills and without worrying about filling up a hot water bottle that's only going to warm up one small area at a time. It's safer for him as well.

£180 needed for a Council Tax debt
D's partner has recently passed away, and he is now unfit for work due to his own health conditions. His income has dropped massively because of his changes in circumstances. D has had an Exceptional Hardship Payment which has dealt with most of his Council Tax arrears, but a small amount remains. It would be fantastic to be able to clear the final £180 to give him a fresh start for the new financial year.
£170 needed for a wardobe
F, who is living in temporary accommodation with her three children, has been moved out of furnished temporary accommodation. The children are in need of a wardrobe to store their clothes. In Ealing we have many clients who are reliant on temporary accommodation, and their first temporary accommodation is normally a bed and breakfast or furnished house of multiple occupancy. They then get moved to unfurnished accommodation which causes a problem as they do not have the money to buy furniture.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this request. R has recently left an abusive relationship, both physical and financial. She has spent time in a women's refuge, but has now been granted her own property with a local housing association. R is slowly rebuilding her life, but as she left her old property with only the clothes she was wearing, it's been quite an uphill struggle. Her new home is not carpeted, and we are just praying our kind Acts 435 donor will help us provide the fitting charge for free of charge carpets.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
T has fled war torn Ukraine and come to the UK to live with her daughter. Sadly she has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, meaning her daughter's property is no longer suitable for her as she can't manage the stairs. T has recently been granted a bungalow which is more suited to her needs, but sadly it isn't carpeted. We can carpet this for her free of charge if we can get our kind donors to support us with the cost of fitting. Thank you for reading this.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
R is a disabled mum of three who has fled domestic violence. For the last three months she has been living in a hotel whilst she waits to be rehoused. Fortunately she has now been granted a property with a local landlord, but unfortunately there are no carpets or floor coverings anywhere in the house. R is desperate to make the house a home, but she simply can't afford the high cost of carpets. We have an amazing offer of free carpets but we just need a little help fitting them.
£115 needed for a mobile phone, plug and case
C, who has learning disabilities & complex mental & physical health, is on a low income and is in debt. He is depressed, isolated and at risk of eviction, and needs a phone. C can't access medical appointments without one. He needs a phone to bid on properties, and as his landlord can be threatening, he feels frightened and cannot ring the police when any incidents happen. C has a Clinical Outreach Practioner who helps him with appointments, and can get a SIM card but not a phone, plug and case.
£170 needed for a freezer
A family has just moved into their new home but were unable to take their freezer due to size. They can't afford to buy a new one due to the moving costs. Therefore, they would really appreciate being able to buy an under the counter freezer to support with making pre-cooked meals.
£180 needed for a microwave, airfryer and oyster top-up
M is a migrant who has been destitute but now thankfully he has been given permission to stay in the UK. He has kidney failure and needs dialysis 2/3 times a week so has had to give up work. The migrant centre helped him to claim benefits and he has found a place to stay. He is trying very hard to remain as healthy as possible and would love to have an airfryer and a microwave to help him do this. He has appointments to go to for his health and for advice so he also needs an oyster top-up.
£100 needed for a mobile phone
M is a single woman and asylum seeker from Ethiopia who was using an old phone a friend gave her, but now it has become a nightmare. It is resetting itself, deleting important files, the battery doesn't last at all, and showing low memory space all the time, forcing her to delete other important documents she needs for her asylum case. M needs your help to replace her phone desperately, and begs for your understanding in her hard times.
