£200 needed for bankruptcy fees
My client is a single lady who suffers from depression, chronic pain issues, and concentration difficulties. She is unable to work, due to her declining health, and now has to live on a low, means-tested income.

£200 needed for a fridge freezer
Our client has recently moved into a permanent home with her two young children after spending several months in temporary accommodation, having fled an abusive relationship. While the council provided funds for a cooker and dishwasher, there was not enough to cover a fridge/freezer. She urgently needs a fridge/freezer, as this would make a significant difference to her ability to provide fresh, healthy meals for her daughters and create a sense of stability in their new home.
£200 needed for a washing machine
G is struggling to wash his clothes and compression bandages for his legs, due to a leg ulcer. He has bad circulation in his hands as well as his legs and so struggles to hand wash clothes. He has emphysema which makes it difficult to get to a launderette too. G receives disability benefits, but is struggling to save. He is learning to budget as this is his first permanent accommodation in forty years! A washer will really help him keep his leg ulcers clean and free of infections that keep recurring currently.
