We are working with a family where Nan is caring for her fifteen year old granddaughter, who has additional needs. They have to move to a different property very soon and are in need of a cooker for their new property. Nan is really struggling financially, due to delayed benefits and it would be such a help to the family if they are able to cook hot and healthy meals.
