Please help a young mum and her daughter rebuild their lives. They have been through an incredibly difficult time. They recently had to flee domestic abuse, leaving behind their home and belongings in order to find safety and start again. After everything she has endured, she is now trying to rebuild her life and create a safe and stable home for her daughter. Unfortunately, her washing machine has now broken. The nearest laundrette is a considerable distance away, and carrying washing there and back is extremely difficult when she is already struggling with her health and energy levels. We would love to raise enough money to buy her a washing machine.

Currently all the clothes are folded on the floor and they are also having to eat on the floor. These new items would help bring them joy and allow a fresh start.
