We have known A about a year, after he came to us whilst living in temporary accommodation. He is a refugee and came to the UK fleeing extreme violence in his home country. A has used our food drop-ins, attended English as Speakers of Other Languages classes, and taken part in our guest trainee programme, serving guests and helping with practical jobs. He is currently going to college part-time,and recently got word that he has been given a tenancy. It would be lovely to be able to help A with a living room carpet which would make a huge difference.

M, who has requested help in obtaining a toaster and microwave, is on a low, fixed income consisting of Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit. They have no savings, and have been suffering with severe mental health issues, getting overwhelmed quickly. They have recently been released from prison and are currently trying to sort their current living situation. They are unable to replace basic appliances including a toaster and a microwave.

H recently moved to the UK and received refugee status. He is from Afghanistan, and back home used to play volleyball at a high level. There is a local volleyball group in his community that he would like to join. A donation would help H afford a pair of volleyball trainers, and enable him to join the community. Thank you.

Our client has experienced a long period of homelessness, living in a series of temporary accommodations, but now has a long term tenancy. Her serious health problems, including minimal vision and mobility issues, mean neither she nor her partner can work. They are living on income support and so cannot furnish their new home. We have been able to provide them with an electric cooker but would also like to get them a small fridge freezer so they can store food safely.

P has problems with his eyesight and hearing which make daily living more difficult. He has been living in temporary furnished accommodation, but has now moved into an adapted property of his own. The new flat is unfurnished and P has no furniture of his own to take with him. He receives minimal benefits which barely cover his daily loving costs, so can't afford to buy an oven himself. Your help would mean P could cook hot meals rather than surviving on cold food and expensive takeaways.

Settled status and a council tenancy has recently been given to a mum who requires a laptop to apply for job opportunities. She is currently on a low income as she is only working part-time. A laptop will help her to apply for full-time positions, increasing her employability and language skills.

M, who has been homeless for many years, now lives on a coach and hopefully will get housed soon. His kitchenware that he uses to cook is not fit for purpose, and he doesn't have a stove, any crockery or cutlery, pans, a kettle or tea towels. M has no electricity and is not able to get warm at night so will also need blankets and a hot water bottle. This money will enable him to get all that he requires. Please can you help to give this gentleman some comfort?

After a difficult period with housing, A has moved into her first home. She is working part-time but, due to a low income, is struggling to afford even a second-hand sofa. She has reached out for help, and we are asking for donations to provide A with a sofa so she can have a comfortable space and feel the support of her community as she settles into her new start.

H fled domestic violence with only a few clothes, and also suffered abuse from her ex‑husband’s family. After being homeless, she is now in a house of multiple occupancy, but has no essential items. He needs bedding, a chest of drawers, a drying rack, pillows and a duvet, a rug, iron, kettle and plates. She receives £350 Universal Credit and pays a £150 rent top‑up, making it hard to buy what she needs. H is eager to get her life back on track and make her new space a home.

G and her family recently had a house fire which has left them homeless. Sadly they were not insured and, whilst a local housing association has rehoused them, they have started again from scratch. G isn't currently working and her only income is from benefits. The new property is not carpeted, and with four children under 8 years old, that isn't ideal. We can provide G with carpets free of charge but we need your help to fit them. Thank you for reading this.

This mum and her two children are struggling at the moment. Mum is in constant physical pain and relies heavily on help from her mum and sister. Her two children both have additional needs which can lead to mum being emotionally and physically overwhelmed. Mum struggles to maintain her home, but having a new vacuum cleaner, particularly one with a HEPA filter, will help her to maintain her home and keep everyone healthy.

K is currently living in a house of multiple occupancy and it has been very hard to keep the shared area and her own room clean, as the current hoover has been broken and not replaced. Right now times have been very difficult for K and she cannot afford the cost of a new hoover, but would be greatly relieved to have a new hoover in order to keep her own area clean and tidy.

This mum and her two children are struggling at the moment. Her two children both have additional needs which can lead to mum being emotionally and physically overwhelmed. Mum's bed is broken and it would help her mental and physical health to sleep in a comfortable bed, and the added ottoman storage will be a huge help in maintaining a tidy bedroom.

This mum and her teenage son had been sharing a bedroom due to only living in a one bedroom apartment. They have now been able to move to a place with two bedrooms. However, due to the costs of moving, they cannot afford to get the bedding sets that they need, which have to be of certain material due to sensory needs and skin conditions. Therefore, we would love to provide this bedding (duvets, duvet covers, pillow cases and sheets) for the family.

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.

After overcoming a period of homelessness, A is now successfully housed and ready to rebuild his career. As a trained electrician prior to being homeless and now settled, he needs to complete a final examination to return to work. We are requesting a laptop to enable him to study and sit for this exam. Providing this tool is the bridge to his financial independence and long term stability. Your support will help A move to a full time professional career.

C is a vulnerable lady who suffers from mental health. She has been cuckooed by a group of males who have taken her money and smashed all her furniture. The police have now been involved and measures have been taken to ensure the property is safe again. C is wanting help with some furniture for her bedroom. A double wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside cabinets will go a long way in helping her to organise her clothes.

A has minimal English language. We at Christians Against Poverty are scheduled to assess her financial situation and, in order to proceed with the debt help, we need to ensure she fully understands the paperwork she is signing and understands the information we require from her regarding her income and expenses. We had used a volunteer but we have been unsuccessful in arranging the follow up appointment in this instance. Please can you help us to arrange an interpreter.

This single mum of two children in North Tyneside is living in a house where her ex-partner has caused so much damage to the property. The family is in need of an internal door that he pulled off the door frame, and replacement door frames that he damaged, as well as the necessary equipment to repair these things and paint for the timber door frames. Mum is on her own, has rent arrears and no spare money to repair or replace these things.

M is a single dad to one daughter who has been really struggling in life since losing his sister who meant the world to him.
