£200 needed for a washing machine
This request is for a single mum of four children whose washing machine has broken beyond repair and she is in need of a replacement. Mum is living on Universal Credit and has no funds to replace the washing machine, so has been trying to use friends' washing machines, but this is really unsustainable. Mum struggles with mental health issues so this is making her mental health much worse. She would be very grateful for any support towards a new washing machine.
£200 needed for a washing machine
This single mother has three children, aged fourteen, nine and two years of age. Two of the children have illnesses which means they have to attend weekly hospital appointments, and they are registered disabled. They have high travel costs to hospital and a special needs school. Mother is on Universal Credit (UC) and unable to work. The UC doesn't leave her enough money to cover fuel or food costs. They have no washing machine and mother washes clothes by hand as she cannot afford the launderette costs.
£200 needed for a washing machine
This single mum has mental health issues, due to a traumatic childhood, but has a lovely five year old son and they are both a great team. However, as money is very short, she has very bravely requested family support and they are progressing well with professional help. Mum needs a washing machine and, with your kind donations, we want to help.
£200 needed for visitation sessions
C, who has been residing in supported accommodation for six months plus, seeks £200 funding to see his children. His ex-partner restricts contact with their children to supervised settings, and a temporary court order is in place. Funds will cover two sessions and a referral fee. The last time C saw his children was back in August 2023. Please can you help?
£120 needed for grocery shopping vouchers
M, who lives with her partner and their four children, has health problems, as do two of her children. Due to the rise in the cost of living, they have sadly amassed some large debts and are in the process of receiving help from Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). M has also had her Personal Independence Payment stopped and CAB is assisting to appeal this decision. This cut in benefit is adding to the family's difficulties to afford essentials. Please would you consider helping this family, whilst they receive help, with some funds towards food and essentials? Thank you.
£200 needed for transport costs
This lady has had a hugely traumatic past that continues to impact her daily life. Separated from her support network of siblings, when cladding on building checks meant that the rest of her family was moved to Milton Keynes, she was moved to Bradford. Her mother, who she has not seen since 2005, is visiting from abroad for a family wedding. This lady didn't attend, due to lack of funds for travel, but the school recognises an important opportunity for her to see her mum and is seeking funds to get transport before her mum leaves.
£200 needed for funeral expenses
PC who has been estranged from his family, would like to attend his sister's funeral in Surrey. He is in need of funds to purchase a suit and a return rail fare, PC has no other means of supporting this journey as he only receives basic Universal Credit. Please can you help?
£200 needed for nursery fees
DB is a young single mum who works part-time whilst claiming benefits. Due to the thresholds of Universal Credit, her wages often mean she is classed as earning above their threshold and she then receives no benefits. This has put incredible pressure on DB, as she has to pay additional nursery fees to attend work, and also travel to and from work and nursery. She currently owes the nursery £200 in fees and has no means of clearing this debt without accruing debt somewhere else.
