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 single mum, who is caring for her two children, has been through a really difficult time recently. She has really poor mental health which means that every day tasks are too much. Mum has asked for a tumble dryer to help keep on top of the washing for her and her children. Due to the children being young, and with limited space, mum was really worried about the children touching the heated airer, and was really keen for a tumble dryer. Please could you help this family? Thank you so much.

This request is for a family who are living on Universal Credit so have a very low income. They only have two plates and sets of cutlery which they need to keep washing up to take it in turns to eat. They also have no microwave and only one pan to use to cook. We would love to help this family to have a more functional kitchen set up with a suitable amount of equipment, including a microwave, kettle and toaster, pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, utensils and tea towels.

K is a single mum with seven children who has just moved into a new home after having been made homeless. She would really like a television, but cannot afford one with the limited amount of money she has. K is trying desperately to set up their home. Please can you help?

C, who has just moved into her first permanent home a couple of months ago, is a single parent with a one year old son and a baby due in the next couple of week time. There are bare floors which aren't very safe for the toddler. C would appreciate your support with purchasing a lounge carpet.

This family, who have three daughters, are looking for a way to spend more time together. The two older daughters are active and love playing at the park, however, the youngest has a serious, limiting illness, needing constant care and supervision. Mum and dad feel that they don't get to spend time with their eldest daughters, and would love to utilise their back garden by installing a swing set with climbing wall so that they can take any opportunity to get outside and have some much needed fun together.

This thirty four year old single mum of two, aged sixteen and one, moved into a house fifteen months ago and is currently paying off debts owed from when she was younger. Her youngest child is in need of a toddler bed with storage, due to the size of the room. As mum is in receipt of benefits, her income is tight and she is struggling to save, once bills and debt payments have been paid. Please can you help towards this bed with storage and a mattress? Thanks.

B is a mum to two little girls and a little boy. Her only income is Universal Credit and she is unable to work, due to her poor mental health. Mum has severe anxiety and depression, following the murder of her sister. She has lived in her house for over two years and has no carpets down. Her home is cold, damp and unsafe for her children. We can carpet it free of charge, but we need a little hep with the fitting costs. If lovely Acts 435 donors could help B, that would be just amazing.

This two year old boy was born very prematurely, resulting in a weakened immune system. He has often not able to go out to the park or play groups, as a simple cold can make him unwell and in need of hospitalisation. Professionals have advised the family to buy an indoor slide and balance beam to help with balance and coordination. They struggle financially, due to mum being a single parent. Mum is also unable to work as she is grieving the loss of the boy's twin brother, who passed away shortly after the birth.

X, a single parent, is working hard with Christians Against Poverty to get out of debt and find permanent work, though currently there is no work available. Recently, their teenage child has permanently moved in with them and urgently needs a wardrobe, which X cannot afford as they are currently on a very tight budget and life has become more expensive providing for two people in the household. If you can help, it would relieve a lot of pressure from X and their child.

We are working closely with a local primary school to support a mum of small children who has been relocated to Bradford from London and has no local family support. Financially, they are struggling and her tenancy agreement does not include an oven, so this is her responsibility, but without the means to find one. Mum opened up about this need at a parent café the school runs to support families.

A, his wife and two children have recently moved to a new property and have no white goods. This is making things very difficult, as they have two children, both with additional needs. A works but has a zero hours contract so work is variable. He has moved to this property with cheaper rent, but it needs work and flooring coverings too, so he is doing his best. We would like to support them with a washing machine and would appreciate your support to do this.

This family are in need of beds for three children who are either sharing with their parents or sleeping on the sofa. Another child is in rehabilitative care, due to a fall from a window which resulted in a serious brain injury. Their home is being adapted in order that he may be discharged from care. The father works as a taxi driver and the family struggle to get by on his low income. The mother is carer for the children. Your help towards the cost of beds would be most appreciated.

D and her disabled child left their home, due to domestic violence, without most of their belongings. They are now rehoused, but mum is unable to work as she cares for her child who is less than a year old. D attended our foodbank and is understandably struggling practically, emotionally and financially. £100 to get pots, pans, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery would enable her to replace lost items and prepare and serve meals for herself and her child, making it feel more like home.

B has experienced significant trauma from domestic violence. Unfortunately, the flat mum and her two children are living in has recently suffered a serious infestation of bed bugs, which means they have been forced to get rid of their beds and other furniture. B and her children are now sleeping on camp beds and we would like to be able to purchase mattresses to go along with some bed frames we have been donated. B, who has a low income, receives Universal Credit and some disability benefit.

C, who has just moved into her first permanent home a couple of months ago, is a single parent with a one year old son and a baby due in the next fortnight. There are bare floors which aren't very safe for the toddler and C would appreciate your support with purchasing a carpet for the child's bedroom.

N is a single parent and due to her caring responsibilities she currently doesn't work. Mum claims Universal Credit, however, due to paying back the advance, she has been unable to afford a washing machine. This unexpected expense is causing stress for the client, as she has no disposable income once her bills are paid. N does not have family support and is currently washing the clothes in the bath. She worries that her children will be bullied as she can't clean their uniforms properly, and this is affecting her mental health.

D, who has no form of identity, has a number of medical issues including her mental health. She is currently pregnant with her second child and her first child is fourteen months old. D is really struggling to be able to access the benefits that she is entitled to, due to a lack of ID. A passport would enable her to get the correct benefits for her and her family.
