She has multiple health issues and needs a freezer for her medicines, as well as ensuring she has enough food in the flat for her and her granddaughter.

£200 needed for a freezer
J, 53 years old, is struggling financially and emotionally, living alone on Universal Credit due to severe kidney, hearing and mental health conditions. Council tax debt and enforcement has caused significant anxiety. Her current fridge is old and has no freezer compartment, making it difficult to store affordable food safely. A freezer would make a huge difference to her daily life, helping her manage food costs, support her health, and bring stability and dignity during a difficult time.
£200 needed for a fridge
C is in severe financial hardship and relies only on Universal Credit. She has no fridge freezer, so buys food daily, increasing costs. This is affecting her well being and leaving her feeling low. Due to low platelets, low blood count and psoriasis, healthy food is essential. She has skipped meals and pawned belongings to cope. A fridge would reduce expenses and help her sustain her income and boost her health and well being.
£200 needed for an electric cooker
Y just moved out of temporary accommodation into a Housing Association flat. The new flat has no cooker so they are not able to cook hot meals. They are on Universal Credit and unable to work as they are a single parent of a severely autistic 7 year old daughter. Y has no savings and needs help to get an electric cooker for the flat. Please can you help?
£200 needed for fridge freezer
C has no fridge or freezer. He suffers from poor mental health so is not able to work and is trying to manage on benefits. Not being able to keep food, or buy larger quantities, is a big stressor to him and our church is not able to help him with as much food as we would like. He has his son every weekend and would like to be able to give him more fresh food rather than tins and not waste what is not eaten. With the summer coming this will be more of a problem. Thank you for any help you can give.

H came to the UK from Africa seeking asylum and has now been awarded 'leave to remain'. He has been unable to gain employment so is in receipt of the young person's rate of Universal Credit. This barely covers his essential costs and he is unable to meet the cost of setting up his unfurnished home. He is worried about how he will maintain his tenancy without essential goods. Could the donors please help towards the provision of a fridge freezer?
