This lady came to the St Vincent de Paul centre after failing her weekly rehabilitation test for alcohol consumption. She was immediately expelled and given conditions to return the following week if she passes the test and remains clean to continue her rehabilitation. Believing in the importance of rehabilitation, we are reaching out for help to provide temporary housing for this young lady for four nights, away from the streets and temptation, to support her in staying clean and restarting her journey to recovery.
This mother and her two older teenage children have escaped a situation of domestic abuse. They are in receipt of Universal Credit, but are receiving support from Christians Against Poverty for debt issues. The teenage children are finding sleeping difficult and weighted blankets have been recommended to help with this. They need two adult size large blankets and those recommended are £70 each. The family cannot afford them in their current financial situation.
Our client recently moved to the area, fleeing domestic violence. Unfortunately, she wasn't supported during this at all. She had to take out a loan to cover the moving costs. The client is disabled and so needs an orthopaedic mattress, which we are funding through other avenues. Her current bed frame is falling apart and so we would like to get her a new one. To top things off, due to the move her benefits have changed from the previous system to Universal Credit, which has caused a period of time with no money.
This lady has recently escaped domestic abuse and has been given housing. She only works a few hours a week and is really struggling to make ends meet. She is a bit behind with her electric bill and would like to get this rectified as this is causing her a lot of worry. A gift of £150 would help her immensely. I have referred her to Christians Against Poverty to help her with her outstanding debt. Please could you help her? Thank you.
