£0 remaining for food
A is struggling financially and currently awaiting benefits so has very limited income. We have been able to support the family with a food parcel, but one of the children is autistic and very particular about which foods he will eat. As such, the food parcel we are able to offer is not really suitable for him. This money would allow A to buy the foods he will eat and help until their benefits are paid again.
D wanted to write her story herself: "I was left doubly incontinent following assault. In 2021 I was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. Thankfully I'm now in remission, but the tumour affected my mobility severely. This means incontinence accidents happen frequently, making me feel depressed, anxious and isolated. Clothing and bedding must be washed daily. I worked all my life but now need your kindness if possible please. My mattress is in bad condition and I do not have the money to replace it."
J suffers with depression and a severe medical condition, which has led him to struggle with his finances. Unfortunately, several of his white goods have gone wrong recently including his fridge and he is extremely worried because his medication has to be stored in there. Any funds to go towards a new fridge for him would be most appreciated.
Our beneficiary is a young man who previously worked, but has in recent years experienced difficulties in his mental wellbeing. He is agoraphobic, suffers panic attacks, has irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), anxiety and depression. He has incurred debt, that he is attempting to pay off with what income he has from Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment. We aim to help our beneficiary in paying off his current energy costs to enable him to escape his cycle of debt. Please can you help?
