£0 remaining for winter clothing and shoes
D is an asylum seeker from Nigeria who has been disabled since childhood due to issues with the bones in her hip. She currently uses a wheelchair or walker to mobilise. In Nigeria, D was the victim of discrimination and was unable to access the education and medical care she required. She was also unable to work which led to her having mental health issues. D has not got adequate clothing or footwear (which is very important in her case) for a British winter. We would like to buy them for her.
S, an asylum seeker from Pakistan, is an Ahmadi Muslim and consequently the victim of religious persecution. Two people from her community were killed (one family member and one friend). S has been threatened and had difficulty accessing education. She fled Pakistan and travelled to the UK alone so that she could freely practice her faith without her life being in danger. S has not got enough clothes or shoes, especially given our current weather. We would like to provide these items.
F, who has moved to the UK and has refugee status, has really bad toothache and needs a tooth extraction, but can't afford the total cost as she is living on benefits and her family struggling financially. The tooth extraction costs £319.00 in total so this would be money towards her being able to get it done. F has put some money aside and said a friend can help out with the rest of the money to get the extraction done.
A, who has moved to the UK and now has refugee status, needs to purchase a travel document, but is out of work at the moment and cannot afford it. He has a new born and a toddler to provide for, so it's a struggle for him financially. The travel document costs £280 in total so this would be most of the money towards it and he would be able to fund the rest himself with a bit of help from friends and family around him.
