£200 needed for a refurbished washing machine and delivery
This young adult in a Ukrainian refugee family asks for help with £200 to purchase a refurbished washing machine as the previously donated one has stopped working and is beyond repair. The family are studying English and, as they are using their limited benefits to cover other costs, have no savings, having left all their belongings in Ukraine. Please can you help them to avoid the everyday stress and high cost of managing without and continuing to work towards employment and integration into UK life?
£200 needed for counselling, trainers, shorts and t-shirts
This young man has been referred to the St Vincent de Paul team after serving time in prison. Prior to his incarceration, he endured the loss of both parents, which has deeply affected him. Currently, this young man experiences sleep disturbances and frequent crying spells as he copes with his past traumas. We are seeking your support to provide him with bereavement counselling and to purchase a running kit, which has served as a source of solace for him amidst his grief.
£200 needed for an iPad and printer
This individual, who has been referred to our organisation, is facing significant mental health challenges. He urgently needs support in obtaining a printer and an iPad to aid in accessing identification documents and conducting job searches. We kindly request your assistance in procuring these items, as they are vital for fostering independence, enabling him to secure employment and maintain self-sustainability.
£200 needed for accommodation
This family regrettably missed an appointment with the Home Office, leading to the withdrawal of their asylum claim. Although the council offered housing for the parents and two younger siblings, the two older girls were considered non-vulnerable and did not receive assistance. It's distressing to envision these girls facing the prospect of homelessness. We urgently seek your help in providing housing for this young girl for four nights while the necessary steps are taken.
£200 needed for carpet fitting
R, a single mum of two children, has fled an abusive relationship. She has multiple disabilities, alongside post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. After a period in a women's refuge, R has now been supported into a new home. Her only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings as she has spent what she had on furnishings and white goods for her house. Floor coverings would turn R's house into a home, help her mental health and give her the fresh start she is desperate for.
£200 needed for a wardrobe and storage solutions.
I am supporting a wonderful young woman who has been through extensive and high risk domestic abuse. Thankfully, she has now moved into more secure accommodation to give her some much needed independence and safety. This young woman needs to purchase some items for herself to make her new place homely, and provide some practical solutions. She would like to purchase a new wardrobe and some small storage solutions.
£200 needed for a fridge freezer
This lady and her son left their family home, due to the husband being controlling and starting to get violent with her. They have now got a flat to move into and start their new life. They walked away with very little and we would like to be able to get them a fridge freezer to start them off. Please can you help?
£200 needed for a cooker
A is a refugee who is suffering with his mental health, due to isolation and hardships he experienced during the asylum period. He received refugee status recently and has now moved into private rented accommodation. A is currently receiving Universal Credit and so has very limited funds. He is unable to make himself food, as he does not have a cooker and would greatly appreciate your generosity in enabling him to have the funds to buy himself one so he can make some homecooked meals.
£195 needed for a fridge freezer
H is single and trying to live independently, but with autistic and mental health issues. He is grossly overweight and binge eating on unhealthy meals. A care package is being sought. H seeks a tall fridge freezer so meals can be provided by carers and stored safely, to bring some order to his life. This will encourage him to eat healthily, to lose weight and manage more by himself. Support for H would be another step towards changing his circumstances, and greatly appreciated.
