E is a single mum to two children under two years old, having been recently abandoned by the father of the children. Her cooker is very old and is irreparably broken so she desperately needs a new one to be able to provide meals for herself and the children. Mum is dependent on basic benefits and is using any spare money on transport to the local hospital, as her four month old baby requires frequent admissions. E is coping well, but anxious about not having a cooker. Any help would be gratefully received.

The youngest son, who is seven years of age, has recently been very unwell and H has had to take time away from work to care for him.

If you can help, it will be greatly appreciated.
