£0 remaining for clothing and food
This lady, who has been sleeping at the local basement parking lot, visits the centre on a regular basis. Blankets, sleeping bags, clothing and food are requested so that she can be supported to furnish her home. St Vincent de Paul (SVP) has been interacting with outside organisations in an effort to locate this lady a long-term residence. We anticipate finishing the move into a council property next month. SVP is asking for a support package to assist with leaving the parking lot and finding a new permanent home.
This gentleman came to the centre in a distressed state, having been given a seven day notice to leave a South East Essex Homes property in Southend. He is also a type 2 diabetic who is insulin-dependent, making it highly inconvenient and unsafe for him to be on the street. We urgently request your help to house this gentleman for three nights, and provide food parcels for this period, while we collaborate with sister agencies to find a more permanent housing solution.
This young person, a vulnerable asylum seeker and torture survivor, requires your support to help him attend meetings with his solicitor in order to prepare his asylum appeal. Travelling to London from his Home Office accommodation costs him £30, therefore, £120 would cover four meetings and allow him to work with his solicitor in preparing his appeal.
This mother, who was referred to us by a sister organisation, is living in local authority accommodation which has developed a severe mould problem. As a result, mum was forced to move into temporary housing until the issue was resolved. Now that she has returned to her home, many of her belongings are damaged beyond repair. Mum urgently needs a new bed and mattress, among other things. Any help towards this endeavour will be greatly appreciated.
