£0 remaining for rent arrears and food
Our client is a 55 year old individual who has acute asthma, and because of this condition they are unable to work and for employment. They are currently receiving Universal Credit; however, this support is insufficient to cover their essential living expenses. Recently, our client faced eviction and is now dealing with rent arrears amounting to £110, which will further accumulate very soon. They have no financial means to afford food and other basic necessities, and would greatly appreciate your support.
JM is an asylum seeker and care leaver who has been street homeless for over seven years. JM is rough sleeping and spends many hours out of doors in all weathers. He has no change of clothes and people tell him he is smelling, because of this he feels rejected and depressed. When it rains heavily he sometimes comes into the centre to shelter from the rain. He has no money for laundry or fresh clothes and would dearly love to have a waterproof coat and a clean set of clothes.
B is an extremely vulnerable user of our Foodbank. After his wife passed away, he couldn't cope with his mental health or finances. B is now being evicted from the home. Merton Council will be rehoming him in three to four weeks and in the meantime he will be staying with a friend. B lives on benefits and has no way to pay for storage for his belongings during this time. This £200 will mean he does not lose all that he has. This is a request that does not have long. Please help if you can.
The client suffers with severe long-term health conditions that impact her mobility. These have been formally diagnosed as health problems relating to the abdominal and uterus. As a result, the client is unfit for work and is struggling financially. Their garden is overgrown to a hazardous degree so they are requesting a contribution towards getting this cleared because they are physically unable to.
