This request is for a family who are living on Universal Credit so have a very low income. They only have two plates and sets of cutlery which they need to keep washing up to take it in turns to eat. They also have no microwave and only one pan to use to cook. We would love to help this family to have a more functional kitchen set up with a suitable amount of equipment, including a microwave, kettle and toaster, pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, utensils and tea towels.
Still £190 left to donate
Total needed £200This family we are supporting had a flat fire and, unfortunately, they did not have contents insurance. The fire has wiped out most of what they owned. We have managed to get together items they need for their new temporary home, but they are short of a wardrobe, duvet and bedding items for mum and her daughter. We would love to be able to support them with these items and make them as comfortable as possible at the time.
