£0 remaining for food and travel costs
J, our amazing volunteer, collects and delivers food to people in need, supporting the needs of the Social Supermarket when required and often working late into the night to ensure surplus stock is collected. Never wanting to let anyone down, J called on Monday to say that he was running late as he ran out of petrol and had no money, so he walked thirteen miles, taking three hours, so as not to let us down. Too embarrassed to ask for help, J's money went on fuel arrears and left him short. Please can we support him?
This young, single parent has been struggling because she had to replace her daughter's buggy and has been hit by other expenses. Her own health is not good and she worries about getting around as she has no transport. Mum's household energy bills are high because she uses equipment such as a bath lift, bed lift and heated blankets, and has to purchase a lot of non prescription creams and ointment to keep her skin condition under control. Please can you help mum?
This gypsy lady has been struggling to find work in a world where everything is online. She has been looking for work for over a year now with no success. She has started jewellery classes and a gardening business, selling her work at markets but, until these take off, she has been trying to feed herself and her pets on the money from her Universal Credit. This lady has a full septic tank so, added to her financial burden, she is unable to flush the toilet or put anything down the drain. Can you help to get this tank emptied, please?
H is a single mum of one, and she has health issues that make everyday life that much harder. She works incredibly hard for a charity helping others that are struggling. The rising cost of living, unanticipated medical and vet bills have left her with a significant shortfall for the next few months and she is unable to make ends meet. Please may you consider supporting this mum and daughter, while they go through a hopefully temporary period in their lives, with some funds towards food? Thank you.
