S, a single mum living in supported housing, needs a laptop to look for paid employment and for her children to do homework with. Mum receives Universal Credit and is already struggling to cope with the rising cost of living, so is unable to purchase a laptop herself. S has no family in this country and only has a small support network. This laptop would benefit her family so much.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200There is a lot in K's life to cause her stress. She lives alone, her children are not with her at present, she has some debts and just doesn't have enough money coming in to live on. K is taking steps to straighten things out with the help of local agencies. However, her phone has broken, making it extremely difficult to keep in regular contact with those who are helping her. £100 will enable her to get a phone with which she can also access the internet and work online when she needs to.
Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100This lady, who is a single member of our church, is raising her disabled son on benefits. He is currently struggling with delayed speech, and the recommendation is that mum gets a second- hand television in order that she can play songs/children programmes for her son, to help with his understanding of English. Mum currently does not have a television and has tried using a phone for this, but it is ineffective in holding her son's attention.
Still £150 left to donate
