Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150W is a disabled lady who is often housebound, due to her condition. She also suffers with her mental health, which is bought on by anxiety. She is currently receiving help with her debts through Christians Against Poverty. Her main worry at the moment is the arrears building up on her electric meter, as she has to charge her wheelchair and mobility scooter. Your support would relieve so much of her anxiety as she works to get completely debt free.
Still £120 left to donate
Total needed £120T is a very brave woman with health issues herself, and has a young adult son who has Special Needs. Mum has to provide for him in every way for the rest of her life, which causes her great anxiety. T's fridge freezer is over twenty years old and the freezer keeps defrosting itself. She needs a new fridge freezer so that she has the assurance that the appliance will have a warranty. When we mentioned this support to her, she couldn't believe strangers would help.
Still £150 left to donate
Total needed £150S has many health issues including diabetes, asthma, spinal disease and high blood pressure, and is in receipt of benefits, but has no spare money for when things go wrong. Sadly, her tumble dryer has broken and she needs this, as having damp washing in her property makes her breathing more difficult. She would be grateful for any help.
