£0 remaining for a television
X and her girls have been victims of human trafficking, but are now safe and have a two bedroomed flat. We have been supporting them through our church foodbank during their time in hostel accommodation and at the clothes bank to support them in the cold weather. They are now in receipt of benefits, but need lots of things for their home that are too expensive for them currently. The are getting some help, but the flat is very empty and the teenage girls would love a television if possible.
A has been attending Glasgow City Mission for nine months and participated in many of our community activities, including college classes and Bible studies. He also serves other guests through our Guest Trainee programme. A has just moved into his first permanent home having been granted asylum, but it was completely bare and unfurnished. He has managed to decorate and furnish with basic items, but would love carpets to make things more homely. A would be hugely grateful of any support he receives.
K has severe post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), due to previous trauma in her life. She also has acute struggles with her mental health and suffers from poor mobility. K lives alone with her three cats and spends a lot of time indoors, which exacerbates her mental health struggles. She desperately needs new flooring for her bathroom, as currently it is damaged and not fit for purpose. K has taken positive steps in the last few months and has even started going to church, with help from a friend, which has been so positive for her.
R, who left supported accommodation in September 2024, has worked hard to make a home for himself in his new flat. He has managed to get a cooker, but has been without a washing machine for a long time and is currently having to ask his neighbour to help him. R would love to get his own washing machine. He is working hard at his recovery from addiction and has been engaging with our support groups over the last year. Being able to get the washing machine would be a huge boost for him.
