Give to someone in need

Can you help a specific person in need?
Read stories of the applicants below and give as you feel able. Any amount will make a big difference to someone who is struggling.

C is homeless and, as a result of this, is currently being accommodated in emergency hotel accommodation. If you can help with the purchase of a fridge, C can participate in a church-run 'Cooking on a Budget' course, enabling him to benefit from the provision of fresh food as part of this course. The fridge will move with him when he is relocated into temporary accommodation.
