£0 remaining for a cooker
This gentleman, who is disabled, is a carer for his son. His health has recently deteriorated, both physically and mentally, and he has had numerous problems to overcome. When his cooker unexpectantly broke down, he was at his wit's end as he did not have the money to replace it and it was so old that it could not be fixed. A new cooker would make the world of difference to father and son, enabling them to get back on track and maintain their self-sufficiency. Can you help him please?
This man has moved into his first secure tenancy after many years of homelessness and instability in his living circumstances. He has been supported to get some household goods and bedding, as he had absolutely no possessions and no means to purchase these. The major outstanding item this man requires is a washing machine, as his property does not have any washing facilities. Can you please help him?

J suffers with anxiety disorder as a result of the domestic violence, and also broke her leg a year ago, which hasn't healed so she walks on crutches. She is, therefore, unable to work, as she did, and is now dependent on benefits with no savings. Riviera Life church has provided kitchen essentials and bedding, but J has no cooker and would be grateful for any help.
