Please can you help a single mum to provide school shoes and a school uniform for her son? This young mother has recently started working a new job, and is trying really hard to better her life and not be dependent on benefits anymore. She has been working with Christians against poverty to repay her debts. The correct uniform will provide him with a positive beginning to the new school year. Thank you!

J is a single parent who cannot work. Due to having three young children, and having no family support, mean that she wouldn't be able to afford the wrap around care. She is trying her best to keep up with the demanding rising cost of living, but has fallen into arrears with her gas and electric. She has received Court letters and is terrified, as she cannot afford to clear these. We are asking for your kind donations to clear her arrears and help prepare her for the increase in prices this winter.

X is a Christians Against Poverty (CAP) client who has fallen on hard times. As the cost of living has increased, her debts have increased and become unmanageable. Since signing up to CAP, X has worked hard to address her debts. She is moving closer to being debt free, but the fee is beyond her reach. Please would you consider helping to support X to become debt free?

X has struggled with debts that have built up over a period of time. Earlier this year he signed up to Christians Against Poverty and has worked hard to address his debts. Unfortunately, as the price of living has increased, X is unable to afford the Debt Relief Order fee and would really appreciate help so he can have a fresh start.

This client has very little income through work, and numerous debts. He is working hard to repay them and is in need of new clothes for work, as the current ones are very worn out. A donation towards this would be greatly appreciated.

A is a victim of a family relationship breakdown, to the extent that she felt she had to leave home. She was managing ok until she was made redundant during the pandemic. Although she found other employment, it depended on her having a car, which was scrapped in June. Her options are now limited, as she cannot afford another car and, on her current low income, cannot clear the debts she accrued whilst not working. A Debt Relief Order will help her make a fresh start to move forward again.

J is a single mum who is struggling with debt and her debt problems have led to mental health problems. She is working hard with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to sort everything out, has a part time job and is engaging really well with the CAP debt process. A Debt Relief Order is the best option J has to deal with her debt, but this needs a £90 application fee, which she cannot afford. If we could help J with this, it would give her hope for the future and she will be able to move on.

J has moved into a new property and was unable to change the utility bills into his name, as there were outstanding payments from the previous tenant. So that no overdue charges are added to the bill, J's Landlord has outright paid the bill and now J needs to reimburse him. J has been able to pay a significant portion of the bill, but needs help to clear the remaining balance. Thank you for your time.

J suffers with chronic ill health. He and his wife have five children, two of whom have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Whilst struggling with long term illness, and caring responsibilities, they have fallen into debt. They are working with Christians Against Poverty to address their debt problems and have been advised that a Debt Relief Order is the best option for them. This requires an application fee of £90 which they do not have. If we could help them, they could become free of their debt and the despair that it brings.

J is a single person who suffers from severe anxiety which has forced her to give up work. She is now awaiting her first payment of Universal Credit, but in the meantime her debts have built up and are exacerbating her mental health. A Debt Relief Order would assist her recovery, as well as stabilising her finances. J would be very grateful for help with the fee.

D has lost his job, due to health problems, and incurred debts while claiming for Universal Credit. He has no family or friends who can help him, and has been reliant on food vouchers. Citizens Advice believe that a Debt Relief Order is essential because D can't afford to service or repay his debts. He would be grateful for help with the fee so that he can make a fresh start with his finances.

My Christians Against Poverty client struggled after her partner died a few years ago, resulting in a breakdown which meant she could not work for a long time. She has mental health issues, has been feeling extremely low and frequently feels overwhelmed. She is eligible for a Debt Relief Order and we know that this will be a huge encouragement towards her feeling able to concentrate on finding a job and starting life afresh. Many thanks!

M and her three children were abandoned without any explanation. The children and six, four and eighteem months old. Mum has been receiving letters from Creditors and came for help to sort things out. She has been left with a large debt for items she never purchased, or received, and a Debt Relief Order has been recommended. With this she can make a fresh start, as the debt is affecting her health and well-being. Please could you help to raise the fee for this lady?

L has moved area, but a debt has been raised in her name for gas at her previous address. Her ex partner left at the same time, but will not contribute or discuss this issue, and her new provider will not allow her to set up an account, due to the listed debt. This money will pay off that debt in full and ensure gas is on at the property. Please would you help this lady in need?

J has had to relocate with her three children due to an abusive relationship. She has recently fallen behind with bills and is in need of support to pay off her debts. J and the children would be so grateful for this much needed support. Thank you!

We are supporting a young mum who has a toddler aged twenty two months and a baby that is three months old. Mum only has a single pushchair and; therefore, is struggling to get out of the house to go to appointments or to get to the shops, because her toddler is too young to walk very far. It would make such a difference if she could take her two children out of the home together safely.

W is a disabled lady who is often housebound, due to her condition. She also suffers with her mental health, which is bought on by anxiety. She is currently receiving help with her debts through Christians Against Poverty. Her main worry at the moment is the arrears building up on her electric meter, as she has to charge her wheelchair and mobility scooter. Your support would relieve so much of her anxiety as she works to get completely debt free.

R and his wife lost their adult daughter recently and they have found life tough, grieving themselves, and also supporting their grandson. They really need a break, but can't really afford a holiday as they are on a low level of pension. We'd love to help them have a break for a few days to get away from it all, and recharge. Thank you for reading this.

S has been left by her husband in the family home, and is surviving on £700 Universal Credit per month, whilst also trying to pay the mortgage and support her teenage children, with no financial support from her ex. Their one toilet has been broken for several weeks and needs to be repaired urgently, as it is currently unusable. Getting this fixed is a priority for M and her family, and would remove one of her many current worries.

I met this lovely lady today who has a five year old daughter and acts as a full time Carer for her father. She has had to access support for food, because she has had to use the money that she normally sets aside for food to pay her increasing rent and utility bills. Mum has struggled with her washing machine for a while, but it is now beyond repair. Please offer any help that you can to enable us to support her with the purchase of a replacement washing machine.
