J is a single parent with four children. She is currently working with Children's Social Services to make improvements in the home. J is in desperate need of a fridge freezer as she has to buy food daily to ensure the children have meals and fresh food, but this is very costly and not appropriate for the family to continue doing. A fridge freezer would alleviate a lot of the pressure and help provide home-cooked meals for the children. Thank you so much for your support.

G is a Christians Against Poverty (CAP) client who is blind and has had a difficult life. One of her daughters has addiction issues and is in and out of hospital.

Whilst CAP is sorting out the family's debts, we would like to bless them with an oven. Thank you so much for your help.

My client, who I met at Foodbank, was robbed at home by knife-point and injured in the attack, resulting in her not being able to work at present. The firm that she works for haven't paid her sick pay, despite sick notes going in, and she is owed over £2000. She is trying really hard to pay all her bills and keep her two children fed, but it is a real struggle at a time when she is also coping with the trauma of what has happened to her. Please can you help with her food bills in the run up to Christmas?

D is an asylum seeker who has recently moved to the other side of London, far from her networks. Due to her very limited funds, she struggles to always make her counselling sessions and take part in her volunteering, which are the things that keep her going.

K's wife sadly passed away in July 2023 and this has left him unable to pay debts because his household income has halved. This has resulted in his home being repossessed, leaving a large debt.

We have raised the majority of the fee, but need some support with the remainder.

G is a lovely eighty three year old gentleman who we suspect is suffering financial coercion, but we cannot prove it yet as he is too afraid to tell us very much. When we recently did a home visit, we found his fridge freezer is not working properly. It has mould inside and has a terrible smell, and is also not as cold as it should be. G has his pension coming in, although we don`t know where it goes. He is a very proud man who feels ashamed he is having to ask for help at his age. Please can you help him?

Our client is a single gentleman suffering from brain and lung cancer, for which he is receiving immunotherapy treatment. His illness has led him to accrue many debts that he cannot pay off as he cannot work, so only receives benefits.

This would give him a fresh start, enable him to enjoy what time he has left and not worry about being in debt.

Our client is a divorced mum of two children who is currently training to be a nurse. She receives benefits and Child Maintenance, and has accrued many debts since the split with her partner.

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.
