£0 remaining for utilities
F, who recently had a stroke and needed to stop working, is receiving sick pay which keeps reducing as the weeks go by. We have applied for Personal Independence Payment for him, but these applications take a long tome to be processed. In the meantime, F and his wife are struggling to make ends meet and she is working extra hours to try and cover their utilities, but feels she should really be at home looking after her husband. They would be so very grateful for any help.
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.
