I am working with a single parent who has five dependent children. Mum is living on a very low monthly income and is struggling to make ends meet. Her mum has just passed away and she cannot afford the travel costs to attend the funeral. A one-off payment would cover her flight to Lagos and allow her to properly commemorate her mum and to be with her family at this difficult time. This parent is attending appointments with our debt advisor.
Still £140 left to donate
Total needed £200Mum, a single parent looking after her three children, is struggling with her mental health and also struggling financially. Mum doesn't have any furniture to store clothes and they are piling up around the home. Having a chest of drawers will ease the pressure of living with clothes piled up, and improve the home conditions. This will provide mum with space to rest and relax, which will also improve her parenting and feelings towards living in the home. Thank you!
