What would you do without your computer? Sometimes it's so easy to forget the little comforts in our life and how much we end up relying on them...

Meet Brann. Brann came to edinburgh with his little sister in search of a new life. However, finding work and housing has been really difficult. He is currently staying in temporary housing but needs to find work in order to stay off of the streets.

This is where you come in! We are raising funds to get Brann a refurbished notebook so he can have an easier time searching for opportunities and staying connected with loved ones. We are hoping that this will make Brann's life a bit easier while he finds his footing.

Every pound helps! So Donate TODAY.

Hey I'm Brann and I'm raising money for a laptop here in Edinburgh. Can you help me reach my target?

Filip suffered a brain injury and then lost his father. Since these tragedies he has experienced homelessness and has had a difficult time keeping a job. But Edinburgh Headway Group (a brain injury organisation) has been a tremendous help in supporting Filip in managing and improving his condition!

However, the cost of the therapy sessions is no longer affordable for Filip, and without them he has been feeling increasingly isolated. But we want to help! We are raising funds so that Filip can continue his treatment! Can you help us reach our target?!?
