J is a very exhausted gran whose health is currently at breaking point. She is struggling day to day to manage a huge amount of laundry in a tiny flat while, at the same time, caring for her grandson who has very complex emotional needs and is doubly incontinent. Money is extremely short, as so much has to go on electricity, heating and laundry liquid. This money would cover a an extra quilt that she needs and four service washes to take the pressure off her for a month.
Still £60 left to donate
Total needed £100K and her husband have a son who is autistic and goes to a special school. He has been attending the school for the last eight years and travels on the special bus. Unfortunately, funding cuts mean that the family now have to pay £671 per year. This poor family are struggling, due to the cost of living, and their already stretched budgets have left them struggling to buy food and daily essentials. Their son needs routine and warmth. Please can we help this family reduce the additional stress of eating or heating?
