£200 needed for stair gates, a microwave and blackout curtain
Our debt clients are working with us to go debt free and so have a very limited income at the moment. They have just been moved from a tiny flat to a house. They had a couple of stair gates but are in need of 5 more to completely child proof the home. They are in need of a blackout curtain so their children can get to sleep when it is still light outside. They would also really benefit from buying a microwave to help them cook and reheat food affordably.
