X has struggled with debts that have built up over a period of time. Earlier this year he signed up to Christians Against Poverty and has worked hard to address his debts. Unfortunately, as the price of living has increased, X is unable to afford the Debt Relief Order fee and would really appreciate help so he can have a fresh start.

N is a Refugee from Afghanistan who has survived extremely traumatic experiences. He now has complex mental health needs which have been exacerbated by street homelessness. With our support, he is finally in accommodation, but he has no home essentials such as furniture and bedding. Please would you give to help N construct a basic, safe home environment?

This gentleman is quite vulnerable with his mental health and has had to battle homelessness, sofa surfing, drug and alcohol issues. He has been working with the professionals and has almost kicked his addiction altogether. He has secured a one bed flat that has some essentials, but desperately needs a cooker and/or a fridge freezer, as he only has a microwave at present.

K has recently moved into her own property with her nine month old son. She is a recovering alcoholic and previously had her children removed from her care. She was living with her sister, which was Court ordered. K has done remarkably well and is now able to care for her son on her own, but has nothing and is currently sleeping on a blow up bed. Please can you help her?

A is a victim of a family relationship breakdown, to the extent that she felt she had to leave home. She was managing ok until she was made redundant during the pandemic. Although she found other employment, it depended on her having a car, which was scrapped in June. Her options are now limited, as she cannot afford another car and, on her current low income, cannot clear the debts she accrued whilst not working. A Debt Relief Order will help her make a fresh start to move forward again.

J is a single mum who is struggling with debt and her debt problems have led to mental health problems. She is working hard with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to sort everything out, has a part time job and is engaging really well with the CAP debt process. A Debt Relief Order is the best option J has to deal with her debt, but this needs a £90 application fee, which she cannot afford. If we could help J with this, it would give her hope for the future and she will be able to move on.

Safe Families are supporting a mum who wants to make her home a cleaner and safer place for her and her daughter. Their clothes are in bags and on the floor, and they don't have the storage they need. Mum does not have the financial means to purchase storage/furniture items and has had to rely on support from others and second hand items. Mum is on Universal Credit and has not been able to work or claim Child Benefit since being here, as she has not had a work or residency permit.

M and her three children were abandoned without any explanation. The children and six, four and eighteem months old. Mum has been receiving letters from Creditors and came for help to sort things out. She has been left with a large debt for items she never purchased, or received, and a Debt Relief Order has been recommended. With this she can make a fresh start, as the debt is affecting her health and well-being. Please could you help to raise the fee for this lady?

N was in a coercive relationship for many years, but on her husband's arrest, was able to make a fresh start, which included not working seventy five hours a week. She had to go onto Universal Credit so that she could care for her two children, and scraped together the finances needed to move. Her resources are used up and now her fridge freezer is not working, which is needed for medication storage. Please could you help to raise this amount?

Our amazing Grandmum came into the Social Supermarket asking if we could supply her with a free food voucher, as she has to save up for the new school uniform for her grandson who she has custody of. He starts his new school in September. This poor child has been through so much over the last year, watching his mum in a bad place. Let us help him reduce the stress of going to a new school, which can be daunting when he already knows some of the children. This is a fresh start for him- let's make him happy!

This lady has had to leave her home with her young children, due to a traumatic domestic situation. She has temporary accommodation with a family member which is very limited on space/storage. Mum would like support to buy some personal storage, such as a bedside unit and a chest of drawers, in order to have some of her own space, plus some essential items for the children, to enable them to feel more at home. These items can then be used when she eventually gets a new home of her own.

X worked for years before becoming ill earlier this year. He became homeless when his private rented Landlord needed his property back and he could not afford the increased rental costs to get another private rented property. He has now secured a Council property for himself and his two children, but cannot afford to replace the basic kitchen and bathroom items he had to leave behind when he became homeless. Supermarket vouchers would enable him to buy new. Please help if you can.

L, a young man with Autism, moved out of Supported Living into his own Council flat earlier this year. Having broken his bed frame, he has been sleeping on an old mattress on the floor since he moved in. His flat is over a walkway, so the floor gets cold during the winter. His bedroom is so small that there is no space for a chest of drawers, instead he piles clothes on the mattress. A new divan base would help promote his organisational skills and mean he is warmer in bed during the winter.

A family have been placed here by the Police, for their own safety, to escape a drugs ring and modern day slavery. The landlord emptied their house prematurely, disposing of all their possessions and documents. In order to find work, mum needs to go to London for new ID documents. They can only just manage on benefits and church food parcels. A little help with obtaining a train ticket will mean they can get replacement ID documents and get access to employment and housing.

R and his wife lost their adult daughter recently and they have found life tough, grieving themselves, and also supporting their grandson. They really need a break, but can't really afford a holiday as they are on a low level of pension. We'd love to help them have a break for a few days to get away from it all, and recharge. Thank you for reading this.

Due to the breakdown of a relationship, G has had a period of homelessness. He has now signed up for a tenancy and has been able to obtain some items, but is not in a financial position to purchase a gas cooker. Help towards purchasing a cooker would keep G from accumulating any debt, which he would actually struggle to pay.

After a period of homelessness, and living in temporary accommodation, D has now signed for a new tenancy. He has sourced some items from a local Charity Shop, but would appreciate help in purchasing a double bed and bedding. Help with this would keep him out of debt, which he would struggle to repay, and he could source other smaller items from Charity Shops.

S has been left by her husband in the family home, and is surviving on £700 Universal Credit per month, whilst also trying to pay the mortgage and support her teenage children, with no financial support from her ex. Their one toilet has been broken for several weeks and needs to be repaired urgently, as it is currently unusable. Getting this fixed is a priority for M and her family, and would remove one of her many current worries.

This lovely lady has been working with Christians Against Poverty for a while now, to become debt free. She recently lost her children, due to a marriage break up, so has been trying to contend with the trauma of that too. She just wants a fresh start now, and to become debt free would really help with this in a big way.
