They’re in the process of trying to sort their benefits but currently have very limited income and a lot of expenditure for themselves and their child.

She also cares for her mother, who has similar but more severe conditions. Her doctor has recommended a wearable energy‑management tracker to help her pace safely. Your donation would fund the tracker and a year’s app membership, helping N manage her health and daily life.

£200 needed for carpet fitting
N has recently split form her partner after it came to light he had been sexually abusing their daughter. She has left the family home as her daughter is too traumatized to continue living there.

Just hoping a kind donor will help out. Thank you.

S lives with young son and older son who is working but limited hours on a zero hours contract so unable to contribute much. She would appreciate your support in helping clear her gas bill.
