H, a single mum with three children, has a washing machine that is leaking from the door seal. She has tried to repair it, but there is still a minor leak. The machine only takes a 5kg load and this is not sufficient for three children, one with severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who is awaiting an Autism diagnosis, and a baby due soon. Mum says she can cope, but she is having to do a couple of loads a day which will only get worse once the baby arrives. Any assistance you could give would be gratefully received. Thank you!

This lady, who is on benefits, was referred by a Council Social Worker, as she is moving into her first Council property and has very few white goods. However, a fridge freezer is essential to store food safely for her and her children. She is currently unemployed and looking after her youngest son who has Special Needs. He is not able to attend school on a full time basis. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

X is a single lady who has had a challenging time since moving to North Devon. She is on a low income and recently her fridge stopped working and she has been unable to afford to purchase a new one. Please would you consider helping this lady? Thanks for reading this request.
