S is a single mum doing a great job bringing up her two children. Unfortunately, there was a fire outside her flat, which led to lots of smoke damage in the flat, ruining many possessions and the complete loss of items, including the children’s shoes and bikes. Finances were desperately tight before this happened. They are dependent on food support so there is nothing spare to replace these much needed items.

H, a single mum with three children, has a washing machine that is leaking from the door seal. She has tried to repair it, but there is still a minor leak. The machine only takes a 5kg load and this is not sufficient for three children, one with severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who is awaiting an Autism diagnosis, and a baby due soon. Mum says she can cope, but she is having to do a couple of loads a day which will only get worse once the baby arrives. Any assistance you could give would be gratefully received. Thank you!

This young, single mum is living on benefits and struggling to make ends meet. She has a few medical issues to cope with and everything combined is making her feel very anxious and worried as to how she can afford a pram for her unborn child, who is due in a couple of weeks. She has been resourceful in obtaining second hand goods and using Charity Shops for clothing. She has seen some prams, but they are either dirty or the wheels are buckled, and she is getting upset as she needs assistance in obtaining a pram. Please can you help her?

Mum would really appreciate your help buy a blazer, blouse, PE kit and a jumper. Thank you!

D is on benefits and really struggling to get by, especially with the rise in the cost of living. Between him and his partner, they have eight children and they are being supported by their local Foodbank.

Any help that you could give D to get some towels and bedding for his family would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

L is currently working with Christians Against Poverty to get her debts sorted. She has been given a new mattress for one of her children who is struggling to stay dry at night.

Please consider giving so we can help this family.
