L is a single lady with two children who has come to the UK to work in the care industry on the shortage of workers scheme. She has no recourse to public funds, hence no support at all from anyone at the moment, and her income is not enough to sustain the family. L is currently struggling to pay for all the bills and furnish the house for them to settle in. Mum is requesting our support to purchase a fridge freezer, iron and board, a bed and mattress for her children, and a coffee table.

Total needed £200N is fifty four years of age and is a carer for her grown up son, who has autism. Mum is feeling very isolated, as she can barely leave the house, due to being with her son 24/7 because of his behaviour. Recently, N reached out to different charities for help and has been referred to us. During a visit, she told us that her son`s bed and bedding is badly soiled. Mum has no way of replacing the bed, as there is no money left out of the benefits, once all the bills have been paid. Please could you help?

Total needed £200S and his partner have recently found out they expecting a new baby soon, which has come as a big shock to them, as they already have four children and thought their family was complete. S really struggled when he approached us for help, as he recently lost his job and cannot provide for his family currently. He is constantly applying for new jobs, but nothing has come up yet. The family has nothing ready for the baby, as there is nothing left out of the benefits, once the bills have been paid.
