This man's wife, of forty years, passed away a few months ago. He's devastated by the loss, but it's also left him struggling financially as the household income has dropped considerably.

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. Going bankrupt is the only way forward for him as he does not know how much time he has left. This would give him a fresh start, enable him to enjoy what time he has left and not worry about being in debt.

C, who has additional needs, lives with her husband and two children. After life-changing medical incidents for both her and her husband, there is significant financial strain on the family.

This money would be used to purchase a more suitable bed so that they can afford the daily/weekly essentials.

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.

This recently divorced, single parent was self employed, but has been ill and unable to work for the last year.

Mum has used any savings she had to secure her family home after her divorce.

This gentleman, who has just moved to our area, was supported by Action Housing. He struggles greatly with his mental health and is happy to have his own home and a bed to sleep in.

He is on Universal Credit and awaiting an application for Employment and Support Allowance and Personal Independence Payment. This gentleman needs a hoover, pans, pots and cutlery, a clothes maiden, an iron and an ironing board and coat hangers so he can keep a nice clean home. Thank you for your support.

X is in need of financial support in raising funds for a Debt Relief Order (DRO). He has physical problems which lead to falling and tripping regularly.

This has meant not having enough income for his priority needs, which has caused arrears on household bills. A DRO and budgeting support from us would allow a fresh start to get X back on track.

J, a single mum of three children, had to leave her part-time job, due to ill health. Her daughter desperately needs a single bed, but mum does not have the money to buy one. Her daughter is still sleeping in a cot bed which she has now outgrown. We would like to ask if you can help us to support J with the £150 needed to buy a single bed for her daughter so she can have a proper night's sleep, which will mean she is more refreshed for nursery. It will also relieve some of the worry J is under.
