£0 remaining for an electric cooker
Our client is a single lady who has no family. She has had bad life experiences which affected her mental health to the point where she was sectioned under the Mental Health Act for a period of time, during which she lost her flat. On discharge from hospital, this lady lived in emergency accommodation, in increasing anxiety, but has now secured a supported flat which is completely unfurnished. Age UK, and the church, have collected essential items for her, but she needs a cooker to feed herself and recover well.
R, who is rebuilding her life after being in prison, has finished our employability programme and is looking for paid work. She is working hard, and we have supported with benefits, reducing isolation and mental health. R has recently moved into her own flat for this fresh start, however, she needs an oven for the property in order to support cooking better meals and batch cooking, reducing costs.
D is a young mum who, together with her partner, has been working with Christians Against Poverty, and the family recently became debt free. D's brother has died tragically at a young age and, although financial help is available for the funeral, D is keen to involve a celebrant. They have a little money saved, but just can't afford the full amount, as their savings pot is simply not large enough. We would love to bless them.
E is a single mum of one; she struggles with her mental health and works as much as she can, whilst looking after her child. She amassed a large amount of debt, which she has received some help with but is still struggling financially. She is in the process of moving and hopefully starting afresh with her daughter. Please may you consider supporting this mother and daughter with some funds towards food and essentials whilst they go through the upheaval of moving and starting again? Thank you.
