Ten years ago, W developed severe mental health problems, lost his business and became homeless. Several years later, he was supported by family into a new home, went back into work and started to have support for his mental health. Unfortunately, over the years he developed a large debt and, due to the pandemic, lost his job. A donation of £150 will enable him to apply for bankruptcy, which will give him a fresh start financially and should reduce the enormous pressure his debts are putting on his mental health. Thank you!

K is a single mum with four young children, one of whom has significant health problems. She had to quickly flee her property, due to the risk of violence against the family, and is now in temporary accommodation. She is in need of many items, but particularly a laptop to help her eldest two children with their school work. K is off sick from work and claiming Universal Credit. It would be really helpful if she could obtain this item to help the children. Thank you!

M is unable to work, due to mental health issues and; unfortunately, got into debt. Fortunately, he has been working hard with Christians Against Poverty over the past couple of months, and has been recommended for a Debt Relief Order (DRO) which is going to cost him £90. We know that there are those of you out there who care enough to help him raise the fee for the DRO. Bless you if you are one of those who are willing to help him raise this and have a fresh start.

J is a single mother who is working in a low paid job and on minimum wage. She came to us to ask for our help to sort out her entitlement to various benefits, but she is still having to pay back benefit overpayments, so money is still very tight. She needs prescription glasses and the pair she had were accidentally smashed. J is not eligible for a free eye test, so your support of £100 towards the cost of the test, and some new glasses, would be such an encouragement at this time.
