Any help with this would be really appreciated by the family.

M is unable to work, due to mental health issues and; unfortunately, got into debt. Fortunately, he has been working hard with Christians Against Poverty over the past couple of months, and has been recommended for a Debt Relief Order (DRO) which is going to cost him £90. We know that there are those of you out there who care enough to help him raise the fee for the DRO. Bless you if you are one of those who are willing to help him raise this and have a fresh start.

J is a single mother who is working in a low paid job and on minimum wage. She came to us to ask for our help to sort out her entitlement to various benefits, but she is still having to pay back benefit overpayments, so money is still very tight. She needs prescription glasses and the pair she had were accidentally smashed. J is not eligible for a free eye test, so your support of £100 towards the cost of the test, and some new glasses, would be such an encouragement at this time.

Mum recently left an abusive relationship and has been struggling with poor mental health. On top of everything else, her washing machine completely broke down last month and the family doesn't have the funds to purchase a replacement. We know that being able to help in this practical way will be a real blessing and encouragement to the family.

This mother and two children, aged nine and six, are Refugees from Syria. They currently have very little furniture at home, just beds, a small sofa and camping chairs, and no toys for the children. Mum has asked for help to buy a table and chairs so they can sit down to eat, and wardrobe for the children's clothes.

S is a Refugee who has been settled in England for the past two years. Unfortunately, he got into debt, due to the language barrier and a lack of understanding of the system. He is working with Christians Against Poverty and is making good progress, but needs support to pay off his insolvency.

N is a single mum going through a tough time physically and mentally, and this is impacting her everyday life. She is working with Christians Against Poverty to get on top of her financial situation and has been doing well, but needs support with this particular Debt Relief Order fee.

P has been caring for his elderly parents and his mother has recently passed away. His dad is being moved to a Care Home, so P has been placed on Universal Credit. He is waiting for his first payment, but has no phone or computer, so is unable to keep in touch with the Job Centre to keep track of his payments. Please can you help P to get a phone, so he can stay in touch and manage his finances? Thank you!

D is a single mother with two sons aged eleven and nine years old. Mum works full time in Admin and as a Spanish translator. She has also applied for Universal Credit. They recently moved from temporary accommodation to permanent Social Housing, where there was no furniture or white goods. We have obtained some items for the family, but they still need bunk beds for the boys who have been sleeping on the floor since the end of June. These items would complete their family home.

H has eight children, the youngest, who is six months old, is in hospital with a heart condition and one child is at a special school. Five of them are of school age and two are changing schools this September, meaning H will only have to pick them up from two schools. H and her husband are reliant on benefits and are worried about how to pay for the new uniforms. This money would mean that the children can make a good start at their new school and would take a load off H, who also visits her baby daily.

L is a mum of two boys who need new uniforms, clothing and shoes for school and college. Unfortunately, L's partner, the boys' father, was made redundant, due to Covid, and has not been able to find work since. They are not claiming benefits and circumstances are very tight for them. They would really appreciate your help at this time.

Our client has been working with Christians Against Poverty to get himself out of debt. Unfortunately, several of his kitchen appliances have broken and need replacing.
