S is an asylum seeker who lives in a hotel and receives £8.00 per week plus food, however, the food provided by the hotel is not suitable for her and the hotel does not provide the special diet she needs. S has had major heart surgery at the Royal Brompton Hospital and been treated at Hammersmith Hospital for a long time. As well as food, S also needs money for travel, clothes, telephone and other essentials. Please would you help her? Thank you.

G is a Christians Against Poverty (CAP) client who is blind and has had a difficult life. One of her daughters has addiction issues and is in and out of hospital. Her other daughter became the carer in the family after G's husband lost his job, due to mental issues. To make matters worse, several kitchen appliances have broken down. Whilst CAP is sorting out the family's debts, we would like to bless them with an oven. Thank you so much for your help.

G and his wife are working with Christians Against Poverty to help find a debt solution. Due to unmanageable debt, they are struggling to make ends meet and have now found themselves in need of a new washing machine as their current one has broken. As they cannot afford a new machine themselves, they would be very grateful to receive this financial support. Thank you in advance.

M is an asylum seeker from Pakistan who suffers with ill health, including heart problems and hypertension, and has had a heart operation. He lives in a hotel where food is provided, and receives £8.00 per week. However, the food is unsuitable for him and his doctor has recommended special food which he cannot afford to buy. M often has to walk to the hospital or to go and see his GP and he needs clothes. Life is very hard for him and he is desperate. Please would you help us to relieve him from despair and poverty?

D is an asylum seeker who has recently moved to the other side of London, far from her networks. Due to her very limited funds, she struggles to always make her counselling sessions and take part in her volunteering, which are the things that keep her going. Some money for a bus pass would hugely benefit her and allow her to attend activities without having to worry about running out of money, and struggling to get back from them.

I have just spoken to a lady who is a single mother with a young baby. She has had some health issues with dangerously high blood pressure, in part due to the stress of moving and having no funds to furnish her property. Mum said she struggles day-to-day with keeping things going and does work whenever possible, but is on a zero hours contract. Hence, it is impossible to have any extra money to buy items for her new place. Mum was very upbeat when we spoke and is very grateful you are reading this.

This client has fled domestic violence with her three children. Currently, she has no means of preparing meals so a cooker would make a significant difference to the lives of this family. Mum has been looking for a cooker, but would struggle to finance it. Any donations towards one would be greatly valued.

L, a single mum of four children, has been the victim of domestic violence and, whilst being relocated in several places around the country, has built up debts which could be written off with a bankruptcy. L works part-time and receives Universal Credit, and she would love to be able to start completely afresh without any debts hanging over her, or deductions for arrears taking money away from her limited budget. Are you able to contribute towards her bankruptcy fee of £680?

S is a single mum who is starting again with her three boys. She has done an amazing job setting up a new home, and has fought for her family. S is currently on benefits and can't work as one of her sons has additional needs. S has enough money for her regular bills, but needs money to get beds for the children. She has been able to get a lot of items already and has been really successful in starting again. S just needs a helping hand with these beds.

The local Christians Against Poverty Debt Centre are supporting this vulnerable young family. They have engaged really well, are on their way to a debt free future and are working hard with budgeting and saving. Unfortunately, their chest freezer started leaking poisonous gas and they have had to get rid of it, however, they are in need of a new one to keep their food in, in the run up to Christmas. It would be a wonderful Christmas gift for them, as we are very proud of all the work they have put in so far.

S is an asylum seeker from India and, due to immigration conditions, he is unable to work or receive benefits. He has applied for the National Asylum Support Service support, but that could take at least a month to be processed. S has to travel to Croydon to sign with the Home Office and attend appointments, or will risk being detained. He can't afford to pay for this travel and has no income to buy food and other essentials, such as toiletries.

L is a single mum struggling to make ends meet, due to low income. It is also a very difficult time, as she has been served notice to leave her home, due to her rent being unaffordable. L has been working with Christians Against Poverty to find a debt solution and her only option is a Debt Relief Order (DRO), which she does not have the money to pay for. To obtain the fee for a DRO will make such a difference and give L a fresh start without the stress of financial difficulties. Thank you!

N, who is currently on a low income, lives with her son. She has had the same mattress for well over fifteen years and hasn't been able to afford to replace it. N suffers from multiple physical health conditions and a new mattress would make a massive positive impact on her physical health and overall mobility. Please can you help?

C is a young man who has found himself in a very difficult situation and, up until recently, was left to sleep out on the streets. He is currently staying in our Winter Night Shelter and looking to find work and a place to live. His current phone has slowly been breaking down until yesterday when it completely died. C doesn't have enough spare money to buy a phone that will help him in all the way he needs. He needs to use it to find places to rent, look for jobs and email his CVs.

This single man has just completed a twelve step programme in rehabilitation and has secured work. As he has been out of work so long, he does not have any finances to be able to purchase suitable clothing and a travel card for the month. We are looking to support this man with the above, as he keeps engaging with his recovery programme, and to help him on his new life of sobriety and work.

G is requesting a mobile phone as he does not have one at the moment and cannot afford one. He needs immediate support, due to his limited income. A working phone is essential in today's world, due to its role in communication, access to information and services, emergency preparedness, and its ability to enhance various aspects of daily life and productivity. G needs this, not only to arrange GP appointments, but also to pay bills and arrange his daily life.

This family has spent the last eighteen months in-between emergency accommodation and a refuge, after fleeing domestic abuse. It is their dream to have a magical Christmas together in their new home where they can start a fresh. They have very few personal belongings, but are in the process of getting them back. This Christmas the family members are asking for help with a Christmas tree, decorations and food so they can enjoy a real Christmas and start the new year in a positive way.

J is a single mother with a son who has Down's Syndrome. They have just been granted refugee status and are being evicted from their asylum support accommodation. The council is housing them in interim accommodation, but it is completely unfurnished apart from white goods and air mattresses. As J was only recently granted refugee status, she is not yet established with benefits or work, so she urgently needs some funds to furnish her flat with a bed frame and two chairs.

Our client has had to flee domestic abuse, along with her three children. She is trying to make a safe home for them all, but doesn’t have the funds for larger items. Having a fridge freezer would greatly help her to shop for, and store, healthy foods. Our client would be extremely grateful.
