£70 remaining for a freezer
This single mum, aged forty, with two children is struggling to pay bills on her wage only until the Home Office renew her visa, allowing her to claim benefits to top-up her wage. Mum's freezer has broken and this is the one way she is able to reduce food costs by buying in larger quantities. Please would you help her by contributing towards this amount needed?
This client had to leave her home, due to safety concerns caused by her ex-partner's alcohol addiction. She also endured domestic violence during her marriage to the children' father. Mum, therefore, suffers from trauma and is receiving support to help her settle her into her new home. Her children's bunk beds broke during the house move, so they are currently sharing a bed with their mother. Mum is in receipt of Universal Credit and struggling to get by. Could you please assist with the cost of beds?
This young woman has had her world turned upside down. She did work in the supermarket Lidl, however, her partner developed a condition which meant he lost his sight and hearing. She went from being an independent mother to being a full-time-carer. Mum doesn't complain and just wants what's best for her family. When their washing machine and fridge freezer broke in the same month, they had nowhere to turn for help, so approached our charity. We have provided a fridge freezer, and we can also contribute towards a washing machine, but we can't fund all of it. Please can you help?
This family are in desperate need of help. The father works in a factory which distributes fruit, and earns a very low wage. His wife volunteers helping people in a local advice centre. They haven't asked for help their whole lives; however, the cost of living has made it very difficult to sustain themselves. When their washing machine broke they had no savings. They did look at taking out loans, but this would be un-repayable, and would put them into further difficulty. It would make such a difference to this family, who have not asked for help themselves before.
