This lady is due to start a new, part time job shortly, which requires her to have a car. Her financial position is a perilous one at the moment. Due to family and work reasons, she had to leave her previous full time job. Unfortunately, she is overdrawn and her car insurance is £42 a month. Three months' premiums would enable her to start work, after which she would be able to afford the insurance herself. This new job is very important to her, for many reasons.
Still £120 left to donate
