£60 needed for fuel, food and living expenses

This young lady has recently been the victim of a scam. Her wages were taken and her bank account has been closed. This has left her without money for food and living expenses. She has been unable to get to her place of work as she has no money for fuel. There is no bus service to where she works so she has had to take time off and will lose even more of her wages. Please would you help her to return to work and not get into debt with her bills etc. She is in need of urgent help. Thank you.

£60 needed for a cooker and a microwave

This lady was distressed when she came to our Foodbank. As we talked, she was close to tears saying that 'everything was going wrong'. The hob of her cooker has broken, she has no microwave and the only way to heat food is in the oven although she admitted that this too was not working properly! She also disclosed that she is in arrears with her rent. Please would you help this lady to know that someone cares. It would give her some much-needed hope in her life. Thank you.
