£200 needed for a fridge freezer
J is a single parent with four children. She is currently working with Children's Social Services to make improvements in the home. J is in desperate need of a fridge freezer as she has to buy food daily to ensure the children have meals and fresh food, but this is very costly and not appropriate for the family to continue doing. A fridge freezer would alleviate a lot of the pressure and help provide home-cooked meals for the children. Thank you so much for your support.

We first heard about this young family from the staff at school. They were made homeless, placed in temporary emergency accommodation and unable to take any of their possessions with them. They had nothing but the few clothes they could carry. The local authority has now found a suitable home for mum and her two young children, but they need a cooker as soon as possible. Please would you help them if you can? We will get the items delivered and fitted expertly so the family can start to rebuild their lives
