£75 needed for train ticket to see dying mum
From Scarborough - 60 years old
Sally suffers from mental health problems and is working hard to overcome her debt problems but her mother lives 200 miles away and is currently in hospital & she needs to go and see her as she has not been given long to live. She has no money at all to pay for a ticket and if she does find it from somewhere it will jeopardise all the good work she is doing in trying to resolve her debt situation. It may be the last time that she sees her Mum so it would be a huge blessing to her to receive this.
Received £75 through Acts 435.
