£200 remaining for a washing machine
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 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.
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.
This woman was referred to us after spending time in respite care due to safeguarding concerns. She is moving into her own accommodation but lacks the funds to furnish her home. We are deeply concerned about her well-being and are urgently seeking assistance to make her new home more liveable by providing essentials like a wardrobe and chest of drawers. Your support will help her begin this new chapter with comfort and dignity.
