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.

In the new year, D's fridge freezer stopped working properly and she needs to buy a replacement. She uses the fridge to store her medications, as well as food. D has recently migrated onto Universal Credit from Employment and Support Allowance, but is still struggling to budget with monthly payments. She will be able to top-up this gift and buy a reconditioned fridge freezer, so will be very grateful for any support.
Still £190 left to donate
Total needed £200This man who lives in Hull lost his driving licence a couple of months ago, due to a couple of unforeseen incidences that he is currently appealing against, in order to get his licence back. The loss of his licence meant he lost his job as a HGV driver and had to apply for Universal Credit, which also resulted in him having to take a voluntary IVA (individual voluntary arrangement). This man is now in a position to retake his driver CPC training, to get his job back, but he cannot afford the cost of the training and would be so appreciative of your help.

Total needed £200M attends subsidised therapy sessions for childhood trauma. This costs £35 each week in taxis, as an extremely painful joint condition and high levels of anxiety, mean that M rarely goes out, and is unable to use public transport other than taxis. Their lifelong partner died, resulting in a difficult financial situation, so M is unable to continue to pay to get to therapy. This will be devastating to their health. To avoid another sudden loss, we seek to enable them to end their therapy well.
