K, a single parent who is in debt due to her household bills, has a very low income and is struggling to repay her debt, being reliant on food banks and food pantries. She has been without a fridge freezer for a few weeks, since her old one broke down irreparably, and cannot afford to replace it. This means that K can't keep food fresh, which is affecting her diet and wellbeing. Your support to purchase a replacement fridge freezer would make a huge difference to her.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200T, who has suffered significant health issues which have caused him to become isolated, has also been suffering financial issues, due to his mental health. He doesn't have a washing machine and can't afford to buy one, which means that he is struggling to keep his clothes and bedding clean. This is causing him further problems as he can't rely on having clean clothes to leave this house in, due to struggling to afford to visit a launderette. A washing machine would mean he can keep his clothes clean.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200M, who has fled from an abusive marriage with her baby son, is suffering from depression. She has secured a new property, but it is unfurnished and mum has very few possessions as she had to leave nearly everything behind. A washing machine, to clean her and her baby's clothes, and bedding would make a challenging life a little easier, but M has very little income as she cannot work at the moment, due to looking after her baby.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200W has just been given custody of his three children due to family breakdown, and is moving to a new property to accommodate them. However, he has no washing machine and does not have the funds for one, as he is on Universal Credit which barely covers daily living expenses. W is struggling to keep his and the children's clothes and bedding clean without one, as he can't afford the time or cost to visit the launderette regularly.
