£95 needed for insolvency fees

E and C are a lovely couple working with Christians Against Poverty. They have a lot of debt, mostly through the DWP. E was receiving sick pay long term, when the DWP told him he was fit for work, and he was made to pay back £30,000. C also was told she owed thousands after working two more hours on her job, and it was ruled fraudulent. They are working hard to pay back their debts. They have enough to pay for their insolvency fees except the last £100. Can you help them with this last hurdle?
