B is a mum to two small children who is managing on a very low income. She struggles with physical and mental health conditions and is often unable to leave her home. B is engaging with support to overcome these difficulties, but relies on her phone to communicate with the outside world and support network (GP, school, support workers). Her youngest child recently threw her phone down the toilet and it is now barely functioning. Without a working mobile, B and her family are totally isolated.
Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100Our clients are a family of four who are new arrivals in Hull. Dad's mobile phone screen is broken and he does not have any money to pay for the repair. He needs his mobile phone to call his family back home and his children sometimes use it to play games, as they don't have a television. Dad will be happy to receive the financial help because it will make the children happy and improve the parents' mental health, due to being able to communicate with family members and friends.
Still £50 left to donate
