£200 needed for carpet fitting
L lost her mum last year and has fled an abusive, narcissist relationship where her ex-partner kept all her household furniture and white goods. L was registered homeless until she secured a property in October last year. She is disabled, with multiple health conditions including bipolar, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), anxiety and liver failure. L can't work and is living on state benefits. The property she rents is uncarpeted and she simply can't afford to fit them. We're hoping our kind Acts 435 donors will help.
£160 needed for a mobile phone, winter clothing and shoes
L is an asylum seeker from Botswana whose father died when she was young and was sent to live with her uncle. He abused her and when L reported him, he threatened her life. Her uncle is a powerful man, involved in politics, and L had to flee her country in fear of her life. She has no phone to contact people or to hear from the Home Office, and she has no clothes or shoes suitable for a British winter. We would love to provide these as L currently only receives £8 per week from the Home Office.
£180 needed for a cooker
W is a single father of two children, aged three and four. The children's mother is struggling with addiction and mental health issues, and is not allowed custody of the children. At long last the family has been granted permanent council accommodation; however, the flat did not come with any type of cooker. W is currently cooking using an air fryer, and warming baked beans and vegetables in his kettle. We would like to provide him with a cooker and have it installed safely so that he can cook healthy meals.
£200 needed for supplying and fitting living room carpets
W is a thirty nine year old single gentleman who has no means of cooking and urgently requires a cooker. He is no longer able to work, owing to extreme anxiety and schizophrenia. He was rehomed recently after spending time in a hostel, and is on medication for his health condition. We are appealing for help with carpets as there is no carpet in W's current home and he has been unable to meet the costs himself.

A fridge freezer would enable them to shop more economically and eat more healthily.
