£0 remaining for a school uniform
S has been working with Christians Against Poverty for several years and applied for a grant to cover her two older children's school uniforms for this coming year, but was refused. She works part time and, during the holidays, is trying to work as many shifts as she can to earn enough to buy the new uniform, whilst also caring for her mother who is terminally ill. Providing some help for her to be able to buy the school uniforms would be just one thing less for her to worry about.
Could you help a family and their six children, including a newborn baby, whose washing machine has broken. The machine was over ten years old and is not repairable. They were washing multiple loads per day and are struggling to manage without it. The family are able to contribute towards a new machine and fit it themselves, but would be very grateful for financial support to cover the remaining amount. This help would relieve pressure on this family, who are already stretched and under a lot of stress.
You have recently helped this mother, who lives in Merthyr Tydfil, by donating money towards two toddler beds, for which she is extremely grateful. Unfortunately, her tumble dryer has now broken and she is desperate for a replacement so that she can dry the children's clothes. Mum has four children, aged between two and eight years old, one of whom suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This lady is also a full-time carer for her own mother, even though she herself suffers severely from depression, for which she is taking medicine prescribed by the doctor.
