Your support to buy a washing machine would really help her daily life.

We have also provided her with two food parcels as she had nothing.

M is a single mother with a two year old daughter. Although she has a SIM card and we have been able to fund a top-up so that she can make calls, she has to borrow a friend's phone handset to do so, because her own has stopped working.

C, a young mum to two children, works full-time on a minimum wage and it is a constant struggle for her to keep her head above water. At the minute mum is having to share a bed with her eldest daughter as her bed frame is broken and the mattress is old.

Mum cannot afford to buy a bed as she has no money left after her bills have been paid. Any help would be amazing. Thank you!

This family, including mum, dad and two children, has come from the Czech Republic and is part of the Roma community. They have just been moved into a new home, but it is unfurnished and they have absolutely nothing. A cooker would enable them to have hot meals which would be a huge boon over the festive period. They also need some crockery.
