Firstly, thank you for reading this request. Our client, D, is an elderly lady who has recently had a flood in her home. Sadly she isn’t insured and it falls to her to repair the damage caused. One thing she needs is new carpets/vinyl: we’re in a position to provide these free of charge as D can’t afford them. But she needs help to pay for the cost of fitting them. Her only income is from state pension and we’re praying a kindly donor will help. Thank you.

"O" is 23 years old. A year ago, he had a serious car accident, and is still recovering in the family home. His previous livelihood was as a delivery driver, but at present he isn't well enough to drive, and needs to find work to support the family. He needs to apply for work, and needs a laptop and printer and additional items (mouse etc,). He is very proficient with admin work and extremely capable with office work, and will be looking for work that he can do from home.

This lady has turned her life around and has had her 3 children returned to her. She is looking for work but at present receives Universal Credit and Child Benefit. She cannot afford the washing machine she desperately needs. Please will you help.

This young woman lives alone. She has autism and other mental health issues. She has had lifelong incontinence so has a lot of washing daily. There is no outside drying space with her flat so she has problems drying the bedding and clothes indoors. There is now mould in the flat. She currently receives Universal Credit and is waiting to hear if her claim for Personnal Independence Payment is successful. She cannot afford the tumble dryer she desperately needs. Please will you help.

H is a single mum of two aged 6 and 13, and is 3 months pregnant. They have recently fled domestic abuse, both children have autism and she has fibromyalgia. She is only in receipt of Universal Credit which just covers essentials. Her cooker is no longer working, she is unable to replace it and wants to get settled for her family but especially for when the baby arrives. Are you able to help?

This single mum and her 2 year old daughter live in a room in a shared house. As a migrant she is not entitled to claim benefits and is having to pay off debts to the NHS arising from a still birth and the subsequent birth of her daughter. She has no buggy for the child and so feels trapped in their small room. She is hoping to go to mother and toddler groups but finds it too difficult at the moment. She would also love to have a small table that her daughter can sit at to eat and to play.

C is a lady fleeing a Domestic Violence relationship. She has left her home city to find safety in Newcastle. She has been homeless for the last year, and has only just opened up to our team to ask for help. C is in recovery after misusing alcohol, and is in need of a safe place to stay, away from people that she knew when she was in her addiction phase. Can you help us provide C with a few nights safety in a hotel? It will mean so much to her if she can be warm and safe.

After a period of homelessness F has now been in sheltered accommodation for a number of months, he is really struggling to make his low wage stretch to cover all of life's essentials, often forgoing certain items or relying on his friends. F works full time, and has to travel across London every day to get to work. This funding would support F hugely, providing some breathing space while he sorts out his application for Universal Credit.

After being accommodated in a shared hostel in Glasgow, T lost his belongings in a fire, including his laptop. Since then T has had to fund himself to stay at a hostel, using up the bulk of his benefits money. We got to know T at our food drop ins and our weekly men's group. T has worked as an online content writer for various companies and would love to be able to buy a new laptop, to use for future job opportunities. Anything you could contribute would be a real encouragement to T as he tries to rebuild his life.

This young couple's baby has received a cystic fibrosis diagnosis meaning frequent costly hospital visits for specialist interventions. The father has frequent seizures so cannot work.

E is a single dad who was residing in a House of Multiple Occupancy but moved to temporary accommodation when he was given care of his 2 young children following their removal from their mother. He has been awarded social housing which is unfurnished. He has no savings and is in receipt of only basic benefits so cannot afford to furnish the house.

M is a young person who was the victim of trafficking and is now destitute and undocumented.

We are assisting S who is unable to work due to a range of chronic health conditions and poor mobility. Her husband also suffers from poor health. She is dependant on benefits and does not have any savings. Her medical conditions mean a significant amount of daily personal laundry which she is very sensitive about. She does not have a working washer dryer and there are not any local launderettes, so to provide her with a working washer dryer would hugely improve her current situation.

This low income family relies on benefits to make ends meet and have just moved into a home that lacks carpets. They have two children and are facing the considerable expense of carpeting their new property. The mother has epileptic seizures and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which adds additional challenges to daily life, and the father is her carer. We want to help cover the cost and ensure their new home is safe and comfortable for the whole family.

She would particularly like to request a tablet for the children to use for both play and to help their early learning. Our food bank adviser is directing them to local children's groups.

This poor woman suffers from debilitating anxiety. Despite this she wants to work and contribute, and has a part-time job as a cleaner. When she is not doing this she is looking after her two children, who have bi-polar disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, and a self-harm problem.

Single mum with two young girls has recently moved into a new council flat. When they moved they had no furniture or appliances, but have slowly furnished the house. The only thing left is to fit curtains so they aren't woken up early by the sunlight. They already have curtains, but are in need of curtain poles for 3 rooms. The family have been through a very difficult situation in the past few years and have limited finances because mum is not currently able to work due to her mental health.

This single mother is in temporary accommodation, on benefits and working with Christians Against Poverty to clear debts through a debt relief order. She needs to pay £180 to repair her car to get it through the Ministry of Transport test that is due. She needs the car to get her child to school and to do the shopping.

This young lady has been homeless for almost a year. She was registered with the local authority as homeless but they closed her case and said they couldn't help her because there were no homes available. A local charity has helped her find a place to live but she needs a deposit and rent in advance. The landlord has a bond scheme to help out with the deposit and the client has saved £200 towards rent in advance. Please can you help her fund the difference?
