£100 needed for a freezer

W currently lives on his own. He has a low income and some serious physical and mental health issues. His fridge-freezer has stopped working. He is also without a washer and is relying on neighbours to wash clothes for him. Having a working freezer would mean that he can budget better on the small amount of income he receives. He would also gain more independence by not relying on neighbours to store food in their freezer or wash his clothes with the risk of spreading Covid-19.

£140 needed for a freezer

L returned to her home after an appointment and discovered that her freezer had stopped working. All the food she had bought for herself and her three children had defrosted and had to be thrown away. Being on a low income, she cannot afford to buy a new freezer as she had to spend the last of her money on buying more food. Having her children at home all day during the last few months has already meant extra expenditure. Could you help her with the cost of a new freezer?
