I have known C for over ten years, and recently life has become very difficult for her and her husband. She has several chronic conditions, meaning she can only work limited hours, and her children have to care for her at times. Their car suddenly broke down recently and needs repair, which has put immense pressure on the family. Without your help, C will have to borrow the money for the car from her teenage son. She would be very grateful for your help.
Still £170 left to donate
Total needed £170This lady, who is on nightly kidney dialysis, is awaiting a kidney transplant. She is a positive person and unable to work, but volunteers (when able to) at the community hub. This lady had an important meeting with her specialist at a hospital some way from where she lives and, at the last minute, her normal lift was unable to help due to Covid. Despite asking different people, she had to get a taxi there and back which she cannot afford as she lives on Universal Credit. Please can we help her cover this cost?
Still £105 left to donate
Total needed £110This client has seven children and one set of twins are currently sleeping on mattresses on the floor. They would really appreciate having bed frames in order to sleep more comfortably and to store items underneath. Their father died in the summer and the client is herself recovering from cancer. Mum is unable to afford the bed frames as she receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment benefit, due to her own health issues.
