Crosslight Advice

R is a 51-year-old widowed father who recently lost his job and has almost no financial reserves. He is currently on benefits and struggling to provide for his family. R is receiving support from a debt advice charity to manage his affairs, but urgently needs assistance to buy groceries and pay for his electricity bills in these cold times. This will help to cover basic living costs during this difficult transition.

M. suffers from fibromyalgia and severe depression. M. is unable to work and is suffering financial hardship. At the moment, M. does not have a working washing machine making it very hard to care for herself. Mary would be so appreciative to receive a donation to cover the cost of a washing machine.

Our client has recently moved into a permanent home with her two young children after spending several months in temporary accommodation, having fled an abusive relationship. While the council provided funds for a cooker and dishwasher, there was not enough to cover a fridge/freezer. She urgently needs a fridge/freezer, as this would make a significant difference to her ability to provide fresh, healthy meals for her daughters and create a sense of stability in their new home.

M. is currently sleeping on a mattress placed directly on the floor because she does not have a bed frame. This situation is causing significant discomfort and negatively impacting her health and wellbeing. Providing a bed frame would greatly improve her living conditions and help restore a sense of dignity and stability.

K, who has four children, aged 6 to 18, is a single mum and was working as a support teacher until her health deteriorated and she was no longer able to care for her children and work. Her only source of income comes from benefits. K does not have a tumble dryer and cannot dry the clothes for her and her children. She would be so grateful to receive your support to cover the cost of a tumble dryer.
