This young couple had been sofa surfing for around two years before they contacted Housing Solutions. Their living situation had contributed to mental health issues and they were struggling to survive. I met with them to show them a property, which they accepted. They have been given lots of items from the community, family, friends and charity, but are struggling to buy curtains and blinds to give them privacy and security. They have also got behind with their gas and electric bills. Please can you help them? Thank you!
W, who is a dad to two young children, has worked all of his life in various jobs, sometimes holding down two jobs. He found himself out of work, due to Covid-19, and turned to illegal activity to prevent him from getting into debt. W finished his sentence earlier this year and moved to a new area to start afresh, but lost his right to work documents. He is eager to get back into work and put this difficult period behind him, but has no money to pay for the ID. Please can you help W?
T had her own place and spent all her money on doing it up a few years ago. Sadly, after being a key witness, she has had to move for her own safety. T has had to start all over again and, although she has saved, she needs help to put flooring in the lounge. She is doing really well, has built a better life for herself and is really helping many others. Please will you help T to make this fresh start?
Safe Families are supporting an Iranian refugee who arrived in the UK in the summer 2023, with his twelve year old son. They have recently been rehoused and do not have a vacuum cleaner, microwave or all of the kitchen equipment that they need, such as cutlery and crockery. The family is on a low income and does not have the finances to equip the home. We would love to provide them with a voucher so dad can prioritise his and his son’s requirements, and purchase some items for their new home.
