This lady, who has four young children, lost her father this year and, more recently, her six year old son. She has a huge debt on her energy accounts, as she is still paying for the funerals and some of her father’s debts.

K and her partner were homeless for a few years and have finally agreed to move into a property. K was in a relationship that involved domestic violence and lost her children. Due to this, she is now an addict to numb pain and guilt. The family members are being supported by our local homeless project and we have provided furniture to get them settled in their new home, but they would really appreciate your support in getting a cooker. Many thanks!

P has had a long struggle with addiction and found it difficult to break free. However, through the support of a local mental health charity, she has been making progress and has been offered a place in a faith-based rehabilitation centre some distance away, so removing her from her current situation. To make this happen, P is in need of the train fare to travel up to Aberdeen from South Wales. Thank you for your consideration of what could be a huge and life-changing step in P's journey.
