£0 remaining for a bridesmaid dress
This young lady has suffered with body issues since a young age. She has Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is very anxious and is lacking in confidence, so found it hard to come out of her comfort zone. With the right support network, she would like to become a bridesmaid for a friend's wedding day. She has been thinking about it for a while and has now found the confidence to say yes! Please can you help her?
J is an elderly, single gentleman with poor health, who is dependent on basic benefits with no savings. He was evicted from his home last year, as his landlord sold the property. Since then J has been in hospital, a care home and temporary accommodation. He has found a new flat with the help of Age UK, but he has no furniture or essential household items. Riviera Life church has helped with kitchen and bedroom essentials, but J needs a fridge freezer for safe food storage and economical purposes.
R is a single mum with three young children who has escaped domestic violence from the father of her children. The family has had to start afresh in a new town and new home, with no finances or possessions to furnish it. R is currently not working, due to the impact of the domestic violence on her mental health, so is dependent on basic benefits with no savings. Riviera Life church has provided beds and bedding for the family, but they desperately need a cooker and would be grateful for any help towards it.
Our resident, who is in his twenties and is in receipt of benefits, has been in our supported accommodation for over sixteen months. We have now found suitable accommodation for him, with the local authority, and he is starting the process of moving. The accommodation lacks carpets, which we have been able to source some funding for, however, he needs to pay for a local carpet fitter to fit the carpets throughout the flat. This will help to make it feel like a home and also keep the flat warm.
