M, who came out of prison six weeks ago and has found a job, is living in supported housing and is managing to begin a new life for herself. She needs a smart phone to access rotas and other things online for her job, but doesn't have any money saved and would struggle on minimum wage to buy one within the first two months. This would be a big help at the start of M's job.

N's husband was an army commander working with the British in Afghanistan. The family had to flee after the Taliban killed her brother-in-law, leaving her job as a teacher. N used to sew back home, but does not have a machine here. She would like to make clothes for the family, as well as repair old ones. It will help to keep N busy and stop her anxious thoughts about her older children who remain in Afghanistan.

Y, who came to the UK from Eritrea one year ago to seek asylum, still has not received a decision on her asylum claim, which means that she remains unable to work in the UK. Y's current phone is broken, making life in the UK extremely difficult because a phone is needed to do almost everything! Money is very tight, as she only receives £8.86 per week from the National Asylum Support Service (NASS). Y would be so grateful for donations to enable her to buy a basic smartphone, enabling her to participate in life in the UK again.

This family whose eldest daughter has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is non-verbal and can be dysregulated, spends time on a device in order to rest from communication after school so they can enjoy family later. The family have two children and three step-children. This girl's iPad has sadly been broken by her brother. Her parents can't cover the cost of the iPad, due to limited funds. Their stepchildren, who they collect from one hundred miles away, stay with them every weekend so they are spending large amounts of money on petrol.

This gentleman is responding really well to his support plan and is making great progress. He is a Christian man who loves Jesus, and has recently moved into our 'move on' property. This has moved him a bit away from college, so he would really benefit from a bike to get him there and back. This gentleman has a laptop for his studies, however, it is not in full working order so he needs it repairing.

This single mum, who has two children of school age and one in university, works full-time in a local school, but her income is low and she struggles to keep out of debt. Mum needs to take two buses to get to work, without her car, and also has to pay extra to the child minder as it takes much longer than if she drives. The car needs an urgent repair which mum does not have the money for. Her mum is helping towards the cost, but your help will enable this lady to get the repair done and get her car on the road.

R is an asylum seeker who has just started courses at our local college. To access all the information, do his home work and study extra at home, he really would benefit from having his own tablet instead of simply relying on an old phone. Thank you so much for helping R to make the most of his studies.

M, who is a refugee from Iran, is trying everything to find a job but, with only a phone as device, he often struggles to fill out the application forms for jobs which often don’t work on a phone. It is also very difficult to search for vacancies and read up on all the information available. M really would benefit from a laptop to help him to move on in his life and access further online courses where needed. Thank you so much for helping him.
