This single mother and her daughter have been granted permanent accommodation in Stockport, after moving from Luton, where they had been living in temporary accommodation for the past four years. There is a need for a new school uniform for the new school, but this mother is receiving Universal Credit and doesn't have the means to buy the various items for her daughter when she attends her new school. Please can you help this family?
Still £130 left to donate
Total needed £200We are working with a single mother who is on a low income and unable to work, due to a recent bereavement. We are working with her to help sort her debts and make her finances stable. However, her washing machine set on fire and is not possible to be repaired, which is a huge blow with small children. With no laundrettes nearby, mum really needs a washing machine to carry on with family life. She is unable to afford this herself, so please would you consider giving to this request?
Still £170 left to donate
Total needed £200This single mum, who was rescued from exploitation, has a son who is turning nine. He is a very smart child, but is struggling to keep up with homework and transition after a traumatising background. Mum has no means of buying a kindle for her son. He is unable to do his maths homework and research needed for homework, as he has no access to a computer. We have looked at the most economical option for his age and parental control.
