£0 remaining for an electric sewing machine
P has faced difficult times in Afghanistan and the only passion she has is sewing. Unfortunately, due to the language barrier, she can't find a job here. P suffers from depression and it is difficult to stay at home all day without being occupied. She wants to sew clothes for her children and sew curtains for her house, as she can't afford to buy it from the shops, due to her financial circumstances. A donated machine would really bless P.
N, who lives on her own, is struggling to manage on her Universal Credit payment, particularly as she has debts with her electricity bill. She previously worked as a carer but, due to nerve damage, is unable to work. We are requesting £200 for a cooker. Thank you for your help.
K has a problem with severe mould in her flat, which has affected her health and her bed, and she is currently sleeping on the sofa. She receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, but a very low amount which barely covers costs. K has a number of health conditions including a knee injury, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety. The council is currently working on the mould condition in the flat and we are requesting £200 for a new bed for when the mould condition is sorted. Thank you for your help.
This single mum, who lives in a two bedroom flat with her daughter, is on minimum income. Her electric cooker has come to the end of its life and mum is finding it increasingly difficult to cook. Ready prepared meals are expensive because she only has the use of a microwave. £200 would allow her to purchase a new cooker. Mum is a good cook and enjoys cooking but, without a working cooker, is finding this difficult.
