This refugee family, consisting of two parents and three children from Afghanistan, have been placed in a house locally and are having to set up home from scratch. Local churches have donated many items to them, but they are still in need of a vacuum cleaner, a wardrobe and two chest of drawers so that they can keep their house in good order. At the moment, clothes have to be stacked on the floors, for which they borrow a vacuum cleaner. Your gifts will help them to live with dignity.

M is a single mother who is being rehoused, due to her ex-partner stalking and harassing her and her nine year old son. They are being placed in another town in an unfurnished flat.
