M has recently become a widow after the loss of her husband last year in November. She is blessed with four daughters, aged sixteen, thirteen, twelve and nine, and it's not been an easy time for her and the girls. While mum is going through bereavement, she has not been able to work and the bills have piled up for her. She is in the process of applying for Universal Credit and Child Benefits, but at the moment M needs support with clearing her gas and electric bill, as well as getting some food for her and the children.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200Our client, I, is really struggling with her mental health since her mum passed away. She had a breakdown last year and now has to rely on benefits as she is unable to work. Mum has a lovely son who is twelve years of age and has taken it on himself to care for his mum. Our client and her son would really benefit from an air fryer as her son would have more confidence using it - he struggles with the cooker. Mum would really like a kitchen table and chairs so they can sit together at meal times and talk about the day.

She has been without a fridge freezer since hers stopped working before Christmas and she has no spare money out of her pension to replace it. J has no family for support. Please could you help her to replace it? Thank you!

Total needed £200M, who is sixty three years of age, recently moved to our area to be closer to her son, who is in ill health, so she can help care for him. She suffers with anxiety, but is determined to find a job, as she currently only receives UC. M tries really hard to make her money last, but after bills have been paid she has very little left for food and to top-up the gas and electric meter. Her son tries to help where he can, but he struggles financially. M would be very grateful for any help. Thank you.
