This supported person, whose son died to suspected suicide a few months ago, lives alone with her daughter and is struggling financially since her bereavement. She struggles to work her contracted hours on occasions, due to her grief and emotions, which is then having an impact on her financially. This supported person has stated that the extra worry, anxiety and financial struggles are affecting her and that if she was to be successful in this application, then it would be a massive relief for her. Please can you help with her utility bills?

L needs a fridge freezer after a serious fire in her home. She has managed to scrape together most other items so far, but needs help with this larger item. L, who has two small children, has done remarkably well to remain positive through a really upsetting time. Please can you help?

This lady, who is at the end of her tether, works full-time as a nurse for the NHS and has no money for food voucher to be used at our food cooperative (allowing her to buy food at less than half the retail price) and electricity. Her house is freezing cold and she has no stair covering, which is making the house even colder. This lady is a single parent with a son aged twelve. We are reaching out to you for help please.

Our client, I, who is currently homeless and living in temporary sheltered housing, has an immigration application pending and currently doesn't have access to public funds so cannot access benefits. He is not able to work, due to his mental health concerns. I is destitute and needs £100 for a food voucher. He also needs some money to buy some winter clothes. £100 will be spent on a voucher for a clothes shop to buy a winter coat, shoes, trousers and a jumper.

One of our colleagues, who works tirelessly to help people with debt issues, has found herself in a difficult situation. Her husband has lost his job, due to ill health, and is waiting to have a knee replacement as the pain he is in is unbearable. We have supported him with claiming disability benefit, but this could take months. A has been trying to make her wages stretch, but once all the bills have been paid there is no money for essentials. Please can you help with a food voucher and fuel?

This woman I support is fleeing a domestic abuse situation and is in need of support whilst she awaits a decision on her asylum claim. She currently has no recourse to public funds and only receives a very small weekly allowance from a charity. This woman requires a shopping voucher to buy food, winter clothing and shoes suitable for the cold weather in the UK, which she will not otherwise be able to obtain.

B, who is recovering from past drug abuse, recently had to move to a new flat in a different area after his previous property was taken over by a drugs gang for growing cannabis. He receives Universal Credit, but has been sanctioned for missing an appointment, due to his phone being broken and having no means of maintaining contact. B has no money left and will not receive another payment for over three weeks. Help to provide supermarket food vouchers and to put credit on his gas and electric meters to get him through this difficult time would be much appreciated.

B is a mature student who is training to be a counsellor, having assisted in rehabilitation centres for some years. He is finding it very hard to make ends meet, due to a reduction in income. B has been working two jobs to get by, but has now lost hours and is looking for alternative work, but it is difficult finding work that does not interfere with his studies. Please would you consider supporting this gentleman with a supermarket voucher so that he can afford food whilst he looks for further work? Thank you.

T, a disabled mother of a disabled child, is struggling financially since her daughter's Disability Living Allowance (DLA) migrated to Personal Independence Payment (PIP). When the Department of Works and Pensions changed the award from DLA to PIP, it was downgraded, causing a drop in income. Citizens Advice is helping T to appeal her daughter's benefit, but appeals take time. Please would you consider supporting this family with some funds toward food and everyday essentials in the form of a supermarket voucher, whilst they appeal? Thank you.

C is a single lady who has just moved to the UK on a shortage of skilled worker's visa to work in the care industry, but was turned down by her employer on arrival. At the moment she is sofa surfing at a friend's house, has been helping with bills and buys her own food. C has run out of the savings she came in with and is in need of support with gas and electric vouchers, as well as vouchers to buy food, as she is really struggling.

A has recently migrated from Employment Support Allowance to Universal Credit, as this is now a requirement from the Department of Works and Pensions. Once migrated, there is a a wait of six weeks to receive benefits. A didn`t have enough benefits to last six weeks and he now has no money at all for food, or gas and electric top-up. Our local church has supported with some food items and we will provide A with a food parcel delivered from another charity, but this won't be enough to last him. Thank you!

A is an amazing mum who is doing her best to get on her feet, but has had all her benefits stopped as a result of a malicious complaint. Although she is working part-time and doing her best, mum just doesn’t have enough money to pay her bills. Despite her difficulties, A is regularly around our church helping others and just needs a bit of help to bridge the gap until her job centre meeting. Please can you help with her electricity, mobile, food for mum and her son and bus fares? Thank you.

FK has recently received his asylum status and is in the process of organising housing, benefits and work. However, whilst he is transitioning to his new benefits, he will no longer be receiving support from the Home Office and will, therefore, have no means to buy food, travel and other daily necessities. We would like to buy him a £60 Tesco voucher and provide a £20 Oyster card top-up so that he can support himself for two weeks while he waits to receive Universal Credit.

This man has secured a flat after a long history of rough sleeping, ongoing from his teenage years, and this is a massive step forward for him. We have secured some funding for major appliances and clothing for him from other sources, but he needs an array of pans, crockery and cutlery so he can cook for himself in his new home. This is something he is looking forward to as he has recently keenly attended a cookery class with one charity which is supporting him!

K is a forty four year old mother of five children. Her son's wife and two children have been made homeless and have moved in with her. Her benefits are migrating to Universal Credit and she will be without any payments until after 28th December. K applied for an advance payment, but has not received it. She has a child with special needs and another with a serious medical condition which is aggravated by the cold. K's oil tank is nearly empty. Please can you help her family to keep warm in the cold?

S, a twenty five year old single mum with a toddler, lives alone and is needing oil for heating as her house is cold. She is dependent upon benefits and is struggling to cope with the cost of living. Please can you help her?

T is a single mom who recently moved to the area, and we are trying to sort out her Universal Credit. A few days ago, three men broke into her house, braking most of her belongings and, because of that, mom is really disturbed and scared in her own home. This has been reported to the police, but that's not very helpful. As T is in debt, she needs to pay her previous home's electricity, gas and broadband bills as soon as possible. I request your support in donating generously to this woman so she will have one less stress. Thanks in advance.
