£200 needed for a television, toaster, lampshades and a carpet cleaner
This family are asylum seekers from Afghanistan who arrived in Newcastle yesterday. They have some limited furniture and beds, but no toaster and, crucially, no television for the children to watch. Their carpets are very dirty and the little girl has already got a nasty rash which they feel is due to the dirty carpets. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
£200 needed for a passport and travel to the consulate
A gentleman we are working with lost his ID through long term homelessness. He is now in temporary housing and starting to build his life again. In order to be able to return to work he needs to travel to the consulate and replace his passport. This request is to help pay for the cost of the passport and travel and accommodation overnight as the consulate is in London.
£120 needed for school uniform
N lost her job before Christmas and got behind in her household bills due to unemployment, which impacted her mental health. Her daughter has also been struggling in school which has added additional stress and pressure, leading to a breakdown. She has reached out to her local Christians Against Poverty Debt Centre, but is still struggling to manage her bills and day to day costs. She desperately needs some help towards her daughter's school uniform and would be very grateful for any support.
£150 needed for a washing machine
L is a single mother with health problems, with type 1 diabetes and other health conditions, and has two children to support. She is in receipt of benefits and unfortunately has fallen into debt. We are helping with food vouchers so L can pay off her debt and manage her budget better but the family need a new washing machine. L is not in a financial position to afford this large purchase.
£200 needed for a washing machine
I have just spoken to our client, who said she is already jumping for joy that her request is even being considered. She is a single parent with a 13 year old and is on Universal Credit and Child benefit. It is a struggle to budget for utilities, food and council tax and she currently washes by hand as the laundrette is an extra expense. She is definitely excited about the thought of having a washing machine and grateful for this chance to own one. Thank you.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
M was in a hit and run accident in 2022, sustaining many injuries and has had to have his hip replaced. His walking and general mobility have worsened since then and therefore he is unable to work. He is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments, but also has accumulated debts which he has an arrangement to pay back. He would be very grateful for some help to buy a fridge freezer as the one in the kitchen where he lives does not work. Thank you for reading this.
£200 needed for a double bed frame and storage
I have just spoken to the client who said she is already jumping for joy that her request is even being considered. She is a single parent with a 13 year old and is on Universal Credit and Child benefit. It is a struggle to budget for utilities, food and council tax and she currently sleeps on a mattress on the floor with no storage for clothes either. She would really appreciate being able to buy a bed frame and maybe a small item for clothes storage too. Thank you.
£200 needed for a mini oven and a table
M was in a hit and run accident in 2022, sustaining many injuries and has had to have his hip replaced. His walking and general mobility have worsened since then and therefore he is unable to work. He is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments but also has accumulated debts which he has an arrangement to pay back. He would be very grateful for some help to buy a mini oven as the cooker where he lives is not functioning. A table will also be very useful. Thank you for reading this.
£200 needed for uniforms and school supplies
M came to the UK last September with her five children age (17, 15,13,11 and 3 years old) to do a Masters degree. Unfortunately her residence was affected by a fire last month and they lost all their belongings. She is in the process of completing her degree. As an international student she has no recourse to public funds. She needs your help to replace the children's school uniforms and supplies. Please help her. Thank you.
