£150 remaining for an iPad
This family whose eldest daughter has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is non-verbal and can be dysregulated, spends time on a device in order to rest from communication after school so they can enjoy family later. The family have two children and three step-children. This girl's iPad has sadly been broken by her brother. Her parents can't cover the cost of the iPad, due to limited funds. Their stepchildren, who they collect from one hundred miles away, stay with them every weekend so they are spending large amounts of money on petrol.
D, who left prison three weeks ago, is remaining drug free and doing well. Her belongings were destroyed when she left her flat and she has no clothes, bedding or electrical items such as a hairdryer. D would benefit from buying some clothes, especially as she is looking for a job and only has flip flops to wear.
We are supporting this family consisting of mum, a teenage son and two young children. The teenage son has had issues with school and has been persistently absent, causing mum to pay absence fines. As a result, she is not able to pay for basic repairs to the family home, following a significant leak, due to not working because of an ongoing back issue. Professionals are concerned about home conditions and feel that new flooring is needed to provide a safe place for the children to play.
R, who was recently employed as an electrician, is finding his feet again after a significant amount of time unemployed. However, his work kit was recently stolen and he needs to replace his PPE. This has been a big blow for R, as he has worked hard to get this job and has been really enjoying this new opportunity, but with no savings, he can't afford the big expense of getting the PPE, having only just got back into work. Please can you help R continue doing this brilliant job?
