It is such a relief having a washing machine again, as laundry was such a difficult task to do for those who have been supporting me. Your support has brought much ease for me and those supporting me, and I am very grateful.

£200 needed for carpet fitting.
H is a young lad (only 19) with learning disabilities. With help from his family and social services he is setting up his first home. His only income is from benefits, he has no savings and his family have helped as much as they can. To make the property into a home H would love to be able to carpet it (there are none down at present). We can source carpets completely free of charge, we just need a little help fitting them. Thanks for reading this request.
£200 needed for a washing machine
H can no longer work due to surgery, and her husband is unable to work due to an error with his residency status in the UK, which they are waiting to be corrected. H is on benefits, trying her best to support the family herself but is struggling to make ends meet. They could do with some help to get a basic washing machine, as they are currently struggling to keep clothing clean.
£200 needed for a supermarket voucher for summer holidays
C is an amazing mum to two children. Over the summer holiday C has not received a supermarket voucher from the council as she normally does to cover the extra cost of missing free school meals. The council have only just made this announcement so all C’s good budgeting will not be enough to get through. A supermarket voucher will help C and her kids have a good summer without stress of worrying about what they will eat. C is very caring and helps others, she just needs a bit of help.
£200 needed for a bed and mattress
A needs to purchase a new bed and mattress for her son. She is currently setting up her home having experienced domestic abuse over a prolonged period of time. She has needed a lot of support to rebuild her life. A new bed with a mattress will make a big difference in making her son's room feel more homely and thus make him feel more settled and secure.

L is a single mum who works part-time with her income being topped up from Universal Credit. She moved house after her private landlord evicted her because he was selling the house. She's now been rehoused with a local social landlord who sadly does not carpet their homes. L is really worried about her energy bills once we move towards autumn/winter. We'd love to able to supply her with a home full of warm, brand new carpets. Just praying a kind donor will help us make that happen.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
N fled Sudan after being subject to terrible abuse and human trafficking. She has now been given leave to remain in the UK and offered her first house with a local housing association. Unfortunately her house isn't carpeted and N is not in a position to be able to afford them (her only income is from benefits and she has no savings). We can provide carpet for her house and turn it into a home completely free of charge. But we need a little help to cover the cost of getting it fitted. Thank you for reading this, we're just praying someone will help.

T is a single lady who spent over 9 months in hospital last year with cancer. She has been in hospital again and now has Chron’s disease and needs magnesium infusions. She requires a very specific diet and has returned home to her cooker not working. She would be so grateful for any help you could give her in replacing this to help her keep her diet on track and begin to feel better and improve her health as much as possible. She is struggling to save for this herself on her benefits. Thank you.
