H, a single mum with three children, has a washing machine that is leaking from the door seal. She has tried to repair it, but there is still a minor leak. The machine only takes a 5kg load and this is not sufficient for three children, one with severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who is awaiting an Autism diagnosis, and a baby due soon. Mum says she can cope, but she is having to do a couple of loads a day which will only get worse once the baby arrives. Any assistance you could give would be gratefully received. Thank you!

This lady is extremely immobile, due to Cervical Spondylosis and Psoriatic Arthritis. She has carers and needs her clothes washed daily, due to her condition. She is on benefits and cannot afford to replace her broken washing machine, is trying her best to keep cheerful, but anything that changes her care exasperates her. She really needs a washing machine as soon as possible to make life easier with fresh clothing. Please can you help?

This lady, who is on benefits, was referred by a Council Social Worker, as she is moving into her first Council property and has very few white goods. However, a fridge freezer is essential to store food safely for her and her children. She is currently unemployed and looking after her youngest son who has Special Needs. He is not able to attend school on a full time basis. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

X is a single lady who has had a challenging time since moving to North Devon. She is on a low income and recently her fridge stopped working and she has been unable to afford to purchase a new one. Please would you consider helping this lady? Thanks for reading this request.

S is on benefits, finding it very hard to get by, and is being supported by his local Foodbank. He has adopted his two young nephews and is adapting to life looking after children. He really needs a tumble dryer, but is unable to afford one. Any help you could give S to buy this item would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

C suffers with poor mental health and had a breakdown in 2021. After suffering from domestic abuse, she has recently split with partner, and her Universal Credit has been reduced. C is the full time carer for her sister, who also has several health issues, and is grieving the loss of her daughter's father who recently died to suicide. C needs a fridge freezer to help manage her finances and keep food fresh, as her milk goes off daily.

This lady and her son have had to relocate urgently, due to anti-social behaviour and abuse from her neighbours. The lady's son is Autistic, and she is trying to cook on a camper stove. Her son is obsessed with fire, making it highly dangerous to try to cook in this way. She is struggling with her own health, and having gas canisters in the house is causing her great anxiety. She cannot turn her back on her son for a second, as he finds it hard to contain his urges to "play with fire".

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.
