£0 remaining for beds and mattress
This family of four was referred to us by Southend City Council and is currently in need of support, due to having no recourse to public funds. They are living in a one bedroom property with no furniture, and the entire family is sleeping on the floor. We are urgently seeking your assistance to provide two single beds and mattresses for their children, which will greatly improve their living conditions and provide some much needed comfort. Any support would be greatly appreciated.
This gentleman is a long-term user of our services, relying on us for both food and mental health support. He faces significant mental health challenges, is unable to work, and has a history of homelessness, bearing physical and mental scars. St Vincent de Paul is his only trusted support network, as he finds traditional services intimidating and has a history of non-engagement. We are urgently requesting a washing machine so this gentleman can manage his personal hygiene with clean clothes.
Mum and dad are parents to two young children and have been working closely with the Red Cross to move away from debt and food poverty. Unfortunately, significant medical and mental health issues for mum, and medical issues for dad and some of the children, have not made this easy. As everything was starting to get more stable financially, their washing machine suddenly broke beyond repair. This request is to fund a basic, but suitable replacement for the family. Thank you for helping.
This woman has been sleeping rough for months. Despite having accommodation, she was unable to stay there after witnessing her partner’s overdose and death in the property, leading to severe trauma. She has been working hard on recovery and her own determination to overcome addiction, and she is now back in the property. However, she urgently needs a double bed and mattress, as she currently sleeps on the floor, which is affecting her mental health and rehabilitation progress.
