£200 needed for a fridge freezer
Our client, who is 32 years of age and has two young children, is a single mum working two jobs. Her fridge freezer has been broken for some time and she has to shop daily for fresh food for the girls, which is working out very expensive. Mum cannot afford to replace it as all her money is taken up with bills and she has little left at the end of the month. Our client gets emotional support from her mum, but sadly she cannot help financially as she is a pensioner. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
£160 needed for clothes and footwear
This young man left school with no qualifications and managed to get a job straightaway. It lasted a year, but he has ended, and his mental health suffered as a result, but he did manage to get another job that lasted three months. This job ended four months ago and around that time, a close friend died to suicide. This had a huge impact on his mental health, but he realised that depression and anxiety wasn't as bad when working, so he has been applying for jobs, but has few clothes for interviews and everyday wear, and particularly needs footwear.
