M has incurred debts and has asked for help with this from Christians Against Poverty.

£150 needed for wallpaper and paint
A has been in recovery from alcohol dependency for twelve months and is doing really well rebuilding his life. He tells me that he had to leave the recovery home a month early, as his wife moved on to another man and left two teenage boys to fend for themselves. The home they are living is in desperate need of decorating, so it would be lovely if we could help him with funds to decorate a room, as he is trying so hard to make a home for the three of them to live in.
£150 needed for an electric sewing machine
Z, who has arrived in the UK from Iran, would like to have a sewing machine. She is unable to afford most clothing items and would like to make them herself, as well as mend her children outfits. She is also wanting to spend her time in sewing, as it keeps her occupied and help her to feel better in herself, rather than feeling bored and depressed. Z is on Universal Credit so couldn't afford one otherwise.
£170 needed for a food voucher and utilities
E, a single mum to two teenagers, is getting used to relying on benefits after a string of bad luck. She had three people drive into her within two weeks of starting a new, well paid job. This has left her with physical and emotional health difficulties. The car was also written off, which left her unable to travel to work, meaning she lost her job and can no longer afford the repayments on her debts. E is working with us to mange her money and get back into work. Please can you help us support her over Christmas with a food voucher and utilities?

With your kind donations we want to provide him with a sofa.
£100 needed for a hoover
L, a single lady who has been referred by her local authority for our assistance, is in receipt of Universal Credit and has health and debt issues. She does her utmost to keep her home tidy, but her existing hoover is no longer functioning properly. The problem is made worse by L's health issues which mean she struggles manoeuvring the hoover round her home. If you can help her with this request, that would be brilliant. Thank you.
£175 needed for an electric cooker
S came to the UK as a refugee and successfully set up and ran his own business for a time. Sadly, following Covid, this failed and he also ended up losing his home. He was homeless for two years, mainly sofa surfing, but has now moved into his own flat. S is surviving on Universal Credit and has little to spare to furnish and equip his new home. He would be very grateful for help to buy an electric cooker as he currently has no means of preparing hot food.
£200 needed for food and clothes vouchers
Our client, I, who is currently homeless and living in temporary sheltered housing, has an immigration application pending and currently doesn't have access to public funds so cannot access benefits. He is not able to work, due to his mental health concerns. I is destitute and needs £100 for a food voucher. He also needs some money to buy some winter clothes. £100 will be spent on a voucher for a clothes shop to buy a winter coat, shoes, trousers and a jumper.
