£150 remaining for a washing machine
A is a single dad with two girls aged nine and thirteen who have been living with him since earlier this year. He has worked hard to stabilise their lives and finances. Dad drives a bus one day a week in addition to looking after the girls, but still struggles to make ends meet. His washing machine needs to be replaced, but he cannot afford to do this himself.
F, who is single and lives on his own in a council flat, recently lost his job and is living on a very tight budget. He is working with us to try and reduce his expenditure so that he can manage his finances and deal with his debts. His oven has broken and being able to buy a replacement would help him to batch cook and save money on grocery shopping. Without this item, it is difficult for F to save money and eat properly. Please can you help towards the donation?
L, a lovely local lady who regularly comes along to church groups, takes part in the community and supports the committee, overseeing new homes in the area to make sure everyone gets the home they need. She has time for anyone who needs her. L is living off her pension with her husband who is disabled. She needs a new fridge freezer as hers is badly damaged and she has had to throw food away which has further impacted her tight budget. L budgets her money well, she just needs a bit of help.
J, a mum of four primary school aged children, was left in debt by her ex-partner's gambling habit. She has worked with Christians Against Poverty this year to become debt free and to manage her finances. J's washing machine has broken and she needs £200 towards a new one which she cannot afford as she is on Universal Credit and does not want to get into debt again. Having four children means doing washing several times a week and J is currently hand washing in the bath. Please could you help?
