She receives minimal financial assistance from her ex-husband and, although she is in part-time employment, still really struggles and receives Universal Credit.

We are aware that your support will not cover the full cost, but it will be a substantial help.

N, who has been battling poor mental health and is really winning, has part-time employment and is doing well at work. She has taken charge of her physical and mental health too and we are so proud! N is now earning enough to move out of an emotionally abusive home, but needs kitchen and bathroom supplies. She got a lot of items from jumble sales, but needs a microwave, kettle and toaster set and some pans for the kitchen, a duvet cover, pillowcase and bed sheet for her bed, and a toilet brush, bathroom bin and other bathroom necessities which she cannot afford on her tight budget. N is so kind and supportive of others, she just needs a little kindness now to help her succeed.
