R is a single mum of three children who usually works in a care home. She is currently on maternity leave, but has been abandoned by the father of her baby and doesn't have access to public funds. R has insufficient money to cover even her rent, but particularly needs to continue to insure her car so that she can get her kids to school. Mum is unlikely to be able to return to work until January, due to health concerns, and would greatly appreciate any support she can get to pay key bills in the meantime.

This lady, who has bipolar, is on benefits. Until recently she was living with her father, but when he died the rest of the family turned their back on her and withdrew all support.

This man, who became homeless when a relationship ended, slept in his work van for eight months. Unfortunately, a client didn't pay his bill, which spiralled this man into debt and he lost the business and ended up on the streets. This man has been in sheltered accommodation for two years, but now has his own flat. He receives Universal Credit and, due to other items he has had to buy, cannot afford a washing machine. With your help we can get him a second-hand machine with a warranty. Thank you.

Our client's life started to fall apart seven years ago after the death of both his parents, then, tragically, his wife. This led to a complete mental breakdown, unemployment, and eventually homelessness. Although he had many years of homelessness, our client still remained determined and committed to rebuilding his life. This has now started with being housed in a studio flat, but unfortunately, without carpets. Our client would be very grateful for any contribution towards carpet for his new home and new beginning.

L lives alone and is struggling to afford a replacement fridge freezer for her home. She has worked hard in being the sole carer her young seventeen year old son, as a single mum, which has meant that she has not been able to work. Recently L's son has been placed in supported accommodation, which she hopes will better support him with his neurodivergence.

B, a single lady, has recently moved into a small flat and is struggling financially. She is unable to afford essential household items, including a fridge freezer, which would significantly ease her situation. Without one, she faces increased financial pressure and risks falling deeper into debt. A fridge freezer would help alleviate this burden by enabling B to store food more efficiently and better manage her budget, helping her work towards greater financial stability.

J has faced significant mental health challenges throughout his life, which have caused him to experience homelessness. Skating has helped him to break free from isolation, but also allowed him to connect with others who understand his struggles. Skate of Mind combines counselling with skating sessions and has been a beacon of hope for him. This is a second request for six more sessions. J has now gained opportunities to peruse his passion for music. Since working with Skate of Mind, they have linked him with Amplify, which has opened many more doors for him. He uses his sessions to regulate his emotions and looks forward to them. J now skateboards on his down days, which is a working, coping mechanism for him, and he comes back buzzing from his sessions. Skate of Mind has helped him build his confidence massively.

F is currently doing really well working with Christians Against Poverty to pay off her debts. Unfortunately, the ceramic hob of her cooker has been permanently damaged and she has been advised it is unrepairable as the parts cannot be replaced. This means that F is now relying on the limitations of a microwave to cook meals for her and her son. To be able to return to cooking from scratch would help a lot with the current budget she is working from. F doesn't have sufficient funds to buy another cooker, so help to fund a new one would mean the world to her. Her adult son has agreed to help with the remaining amount needed, and F has been saving a little over several months too.

Please would you consider supporting A with a food voucher?
