£0 remaining for gas, electric and a food voucher
One of our colleagues, who works tirelessly to help people with debt issues, has found herself in a difficult situation. Her husband has lost his job, due to ill health, and is waiting to have a knee replacement as the pain he is in is unbearable. We have supported him with claiming disability benefit, but this could take months. A has been trying to make her wages stretch, but once all the bills have been paid there is no money for essentials. Please can you help with a food voucher and fuel?
Our client, who is thirty seven years of age and is a single mum to a little girl, works part time. She tries to do more hours when she can, but is restricted as she needs to do the school runs.

Once mum has paid her priority bills there is no money left over. R`s cooker has been broken for some time and she has been cooking microwave meals. Please can you help?

Z is a lady who is really struggling since her husband suffered several heart attacks and is now unable to work. She has really fallen behind with her bills and, has she has a child, really does not want to lose her house. Mum just needs help to make a payment so things are not taken further, as she is so worried they will take court proceedings. Z has now got herself a job and once she gets her first wage she will make more payments. She just needs help to take the pressure off for now.
