£0 remaining for a washing machine
TM, who has a mental health disability and is signed off work, has been in touch with the Christians Against Poverty team (CAP), due to escalating debts. CAP will work with him to try to reduce his debts and support him with a personal finance plan to help him. TM, who lives alone in rented accommodation, struggles to afford to travel to a launderette most weeks, and his washing machine has been irreparable for a long time. TM is desperately in need of a replacement and we have sourced one for £199.99. Please can you help?
K lives with her partner and four year old who is waiting for a diagnosis for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Mum has a number of health concerns and is also caring for her partner who has had a heart attack and still awaiting Personal Independence Payment and the fitting of a wet room. The family are currently only receiving Universal Credit which just covers absolute essentials, and are regularly having to attend food larders. The washing machine is broken and the family is unable to purchase a new one so we are requesting support for this.
B is a single mum with a four year old and a two week old baby. Her four year old has speech delay. Mum is currently in receipt of Universal Credit and regularly needs to use the local foodbank. The fridge freezer has broken, meaning she is unable to store food, especially the milk for her baby (she is breast feeding, but needs to store milk as well). We are requesting support for B to purchase a replacement fridge freezer and support her young family.
