A microwave would allow her to easily cook and reheat small meals while saving money on gas.

£180 needed for food and electricity payments
G arrived in the UK over 10 years ago, with an ancestry visa and built a life here. When his visa expired a few months ago, he applied to stay, using all his savings to do so, but sadly, he completed the wrong form and his application was rejected. As a result he lost his job and has got into debt. The Migrant Centre is helping him to reapply and manage the debt but in the meantime he has no money for basic necessities. He would be very grateful for help to buy food and pay for his electricity.
