£200 needed for a washing machine
This gentleman has come into contact with us at Christians Against Poverty for help with his financial situation. His washing machine has broken and, due to a low income and unmanageable debt, he cannot afford a replacement. We would be so grateful to receive funding to purchase one for him. Thank you so much in advance.
£200 needed for accommodation and a food parcel
This lady has been referred to SVP via two partner agencies who are treating her mental health and problematic drug use. Following a relationship break up, this vulnerable lady has found herself on the streets, which has exasperated her mental health issues. We are urgently seeking your assistance with a food parcel and to temporarily house this lady for four nights respite at a local bed and breakfast establishment whilst we work with the local authorities to source a more permanent and suitable type of accommodation.
£200 needed for an electric cooker
This single mother has recently moved into an unfurnished council house with her two year old son, who suffers from asthma. The property's floors are bare concrete, and mum's limited funds are urgently needed to cover them with vinyl to protect her son's health. This leaves her with no money for essential appliances. Mum desperately needs a cooker, as she currently has no means to prepare hot food. An electric cooker would significantly improve their living situation and wellbeing. Thank you.
£200 needed for a voucher toward clothes, cooking pots, pans and crockery
A is unable to work, due to ill health, and is awaiting further tests. Her drop in income is severely affecting her and she is struggling to get by, especially due to the rise in the cost of living. A has been managing for a long time with broken and dangerous kitchen equipment and crockery, never having the funds to be able to replace them. Likewise with her clothes, she hasn't been able to replace worn out garments. May you please consider helping A with a voucher so she can replace things?
£200 needed for a bedroom carpet
Our applicant is a single mother with a four month old baby who has been newly housed in flat with limited furnishings. There is no floor covering in the bedrooms. Mum is recovering from post-natal depression and domestic abuse from the baby's father. This request is so she can get carpet for the baby's bedroom. You will be helping toward the needs for their new home. We are providing other support to them through our family and social action activities.
£200 needed for bedding for four children
We have a family of four children who are in urgent need of bedding. The family is experiencing financial hardship, and both parents struggle with poor mental health. One child has challenges related to autism, while his brother is currently undergoing an assessment for the condition. Additionally, the family is renting their home and has been dealing with a severe bedbug infestation, originating from the boys’ shared bedroom. As a result, the mother had to dispose of all of their bedding. Please can you help?
£200 needed for gas and electric bills
J uses a Motability car and parked in her usual bay, which had its usage changed and she wasn't aware. The Motability company didn't pass the ticket on and bailiffs turned up for a £550 fine which J paid as she was scared and intimidated. She now has no money for food or utility bills that are due. We are helping with food parcels, but she needs support to not get in debt with gas and electric.
£200 needed for a sofa
J has recently been rehoused, having lived in a property deemed uninhabitable by the council. All his belongings were mouldy and the only salvageable things were a television and a washer, leaving him to buy everything again. J had been living with his mum until she died and he wasn't able to cope. He lost the home and ended up in unfit housing. He only receives basic Universal Credit and has nothing left to start again. It would make him feel so much more at home if we could help with a sofa. Thank you!
£200 needed for a cooker
L has lived for many years in a hostel and has just secured a flat from a housing association. He has alcohol and substance abuse issues, but has made progress in abstaining from heroin use. Although L still struggles with some drug use, he is actively working with a key worker from CGL (Change, Grow, Live). In general, he is showing commitment and progressing towards achieving complete abstinence. L would be so grateful for your help towards buying a cooker for his new living accommodation.
