D, who has additional needs, lives with his teenage daughter. On Universal Credit, he has been sleeping on a sofa bed in his living room. He is now seeking to purchase a bed, as the sofa bed is broken and has caused him back issues. D is also hoping to be able to put down carpet in the living room as there are currently no carpets in the house.

St Vincent De Paul Droitwich is assisting T, a Ukrainian refugee with two young sons. Despite working part-time and receiving Universal Credit, she lacks the funds to put carpets in her home. While a partial donation has been received, there is a shortfall of £155 for this essential expense. Your support can make a significant difference in ensuring a more comfortable living environment for T and her children. Please would you consider contributing to enhance the quality of life for this family?

K has recently escaped domestic violence and has been housed here. She has three young children and one with complex disabilities. K has no carpets anywhere and is especially concerned about the stairs that have nails etc. on them, with her toddlers and the disabled child. She desperately needs some carpet, but has very basic benefit income. A local carpet shop will deliver stair carpet for £200 and she will manage the fitting charge. Please could we help?

This young man is moving from our supported accommodation into his first tenancy with the local authority. He suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression, and has been in care in many foster placements all his life. This young man is keen to make a home for himself and succeed in life. He is currently working and, therefore, does not qualify for statutory grants. Due to his debts, and having no savings, he does not have sufficient money to buy any essential items.

This mum and her family have just been rehoused, due to domestic violence from her ex-partner. He is now in prison for threatening behaviour towards the daughter and the drug culture where they lived. While they can take most of their furniture with them, the new house has no carpet or floor covering, so the money is for carpets in the downstairs areas.

My client and her daughter have recently been rehoused. Her husband has an alcohol problem and this has meant that they have been living in a secure environment for years. Mum has brought very little with her and has very little money. At present there is one heater in the house and mum won't put on the central heating because of the cost. She is looking for work, but in the meantime, the family could really do with some help to heat the house. Please can you help?

C's boiler has broken down and she needs a new one to be able to heat her house and provide hot water for herself and her children. She has been working with Christians Against Poverty for several months and is making good progress with her debts, but cannot afford such a large payment and is concerned about the oncoming winter weather. Please can you help C?

'A tale of Cancer and Carpets.' This 69 year old lady, had a stroke and now a rare form of blood cancer (Polycythaemia), lives alone in a Housing Association flat. She is being moved, within the same block, to a ground floor flat, due to her health needs. The new flat is totally uncarpeted, yet will only cost £655 to do. This lady can pay for most of it, but being on benefits, cannot afford it all. This contribution would be gratefully received by her and the scheme manager, at a stressful time.

This lady has been rehoused by her housing association, due to severe damp and mould which has ruined her bedroom furniture and carpets. She has a six year old child and is the carer for her husband. The bedroom furniture will be replaced through funds from her housing association, but this will not cover the cost of carpets. We are able to source the carpet, but need help with the cost of the fitting. The current cold weather means the rooms are very cold. Thank you for your help.

This lady has had to leave her former home, due to severe damp and mould. She is a carer for her partner and also has a six year old child. The housing association is helping with the cost of furniture, but not floor coverings. We are able to source the carpet for free, but need help with the cost of fitting it on the hall, stairs and landing. As the weather is getting colder, this is more urgent, as the house is very cold. If you are able to help, it would be much appreciated.
