T is a single man, who has moved into a new flat. He was made homeless after his previous landlord sold the accommodation and has since been able to move down to this area, but the flat is empty. He has been able to access some items for the house, but still needs a number of small items to benefit in his daily living. We are requesting support to be able to purchase a kettle, small fridge, toaster, chest of drawers and chair.

D has just joined us at Homes of Hope after finding himself homeless through losing his job. He is away from his family and is new to the area. He is keen to get back to work and is currently struggling as he feels like he has no purpose or worth.

He receives Universal Credit but is not able to afford the cost of this health and safety test that he needs for finding employment.

This young mum on low income is struggling financially and has had to move house due to stress and struggling with neighbours. The area she lived in had a lot of cars playing loud music during early hours in the morning. This was affecting her sleep causing massive anxiety and stress. She has moved but could not take her cooker as the new house is all gas. She has been using a slow cooker but it’s not working properly. Please can you help?

Please can you help our beneficiary, who is newly released from prison and needing temporary accommodation before he is able to be re-homed.

Thank you for your support.

C has had years of battling against a chaotic lifestyle and moved into Restore after becoming homeless last year. He has worked hard to make progress and get back on his feet and is now looking to get his own property. C is trying to improve his sleep routine and is going to get a bed that he will be able to take to his new place and improve his wellbeing. He has managed to save up enough for the mattress but needs to help to pay for the frame itself.

T is currently living in temporary supported accommodation, following serious coercive control and domestic abuse leaving her on life support. She has fought back to health, and has now been offered a housing association property of her own just in time for her new baby to arrive. The new flat has no carpets, and due to her low income T can't afford to fit any. Your help to get some fitted would mean her living room and bedroom would be warmer, more welcoming and safer for her and the baby.

She wants to start a safe new life and really needs support to do that.

A is a 43 year old single man who has recently sadly been diagnosed with a brain tumour. He moved into his new property in February and as he is on a limited income he has been unable to source items for his new home. He is dependent on basic benefits and has no savings or family to help out at this difficult time. He desperately needs a washing machine as he cannot afford or access launderette facilities. Home Church has helped with other essential cooking items so he is grateful for any help.

B is a lady who is a victim of domestic violence. For the last few months she has been living in a tent and her two teenage children have been in foster care. The good news is that today she has a home to call her own and a place for her children to stay. However, she has limited furniture and appliances. £185 would purchase two basic wardrobes - one for her and one for her children. B is currently unfit for work and is living on benefits. She has no money to buy wardrobes for herself.

K is a full‑time carer for her disabled daughter and cannot work. She is overwhelmed with over £30k of debt and, though eligible for a Debt Relief Order, new debts keep emerging. Bankruptcy would give her a fresh start, reduce stress, and help her focus on caring for her daughter. She is seeking support with the bankruptcy application fees.

T is 61 years old and has been street homeless for 8 years, a local church referred him to Homes of Hope a couple of weeks ago; after meeting him we really felt like he was someone we could serve and support. Having been on the streets for so long he hasn't needed a phone, he has just got by moving around. This has really hindered him as he has missed many appointments including health and hospital appointments and has no way to contact anyone if he needs help. T has only very recently applied for Universal Credit which he has been awarded.

Client X has been in the care system all their life. They got with a bad crowd, and have now found themselves in the Criminal Justice system. They have a child on the way, are homeless and unemployed. They are trying to turn their life around, and realised that they are on a slippery slope. They have now engaged with appropriate services and are making a big effort to be a good parent and take on their responsibilities. A mobile phone would help them to maintain contact with all the services that require their commitment.

W has shown real strength in rebuilding her life—managing her finances independently, volunteering at a local community centre and taking brave steps to address her alcohol use. When her cooker broke before Christmas, the weight of everything became too much, forcing her to leave her home and move in with her mum. Now, she is ready to stand on her own again, but without a working cooker, that independence feels out of reach. Your support could truly help her reclaim her home and her future.

G has been supported by Glasgow City Mission for around 10 years. He is honest and reliable. He is struggling to find work and depends on Universal Credit in between temping jobs.

G is struggling with his mental health and his mobility is diminishing with age.He is motivated to improve his flat and has been doing what he can to make it homely. We would love to help him with paint for his kitchen and hallway. He is also lacking in basic clothing.

Ali is an Iranian refugee who was left homeless and spent much of last year sleeping rough in a tent in the woods around Chester. During that time he experienced harsh weather, theft, abuse and severe isolation, which badly affected both his physical and mental health. He now lives in a hostel 20 miles away from his support network in Chester. An electric bike would greatly improve his mobility, independence and access to support. Northgate Church has contributed, but £195 is still needed.

This courageous mum fled domestic abuse and is rebuilding her life in the South of England. She has a 4 year old and is expecting her second child next month. This money is to buy a few things for her and the baby such a feeding pillow, mittens, hooded towel, bottle drying rack, breast pump and a lovely new pair of PJ's for her. With this she will have the all she needs and can feel confident her hospital bag is packed and ready.

P has fallen on hard times. Following ill health last year and losing his possessions, he was evicted from his home on a no fault eviction due to house repairs. He has since experienced many supported accommodation placements, with people with various issues. We have now managed to find him a suitable shared house but when arriving to pick up his things, his room had been broken into and his television and phone had been stolen. He'd be very grateful for any support to replace them.

K's career as a teaching assistant was put on hold due to a driving ban, as she could no longer get to work. She has been offered a role as a support assistant closer to home. Before it starts, K has the opportunity to do a driving course which will reduce the length of her ban and give her more flexibility for work in her new job. Having been out of work for a while, K doesn't have the money to fund it herself. Would you please be able to cover the cost so she can make the most of her new role?

M is a single man who has had a troubled life resulting in him being homeless for some considerable time. He has had a lot of support to enable him to acquire a tenancy on a permanent flat but it is completely unfurnished. Home church has provided the basics re cooking and sleeping but he has significant mental health issues including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder so he would benefit greatly from a TV to occupy his time. He is not able to work currently and is dependent on basic benefits with no savings or family support.
