£120 needed for electricity debt

T suffers with mental health and low income due to not being able to work. He has been working with Christians Against Poverty to sort out his debt and due to his low income his budget is not sustainable. He only has a small debt but the only other option is to go through a full Debt Relief Order which is not ideal. The requested amount would clear his debt and give him a fresh start to be able to live in a budget and start to work on his mental health progress. Thank you so much for your support, in advance.

£150 needed for a cooker

A local community is hosting a family of eight Ukranians who are due to arrive this week. They are creating a home for them in place that was used to teach English so it needs a cooker urgently. A local store has promised a discount but it is expensive. These people are so precious that they gave their own bedding, which I discovered when we turned up with bedding for the families. They know how to love and give selflessly!

A very brave Ukranian family have moved into the nearby Wholesome Warehouse; three generations staying with a local friend. They now have most things, which is great but, having spoken to A, who has four children (three of them are boys), she wondered if I could get her some boys/men's slippers. It would be great to buy them new ones rather than second hand ones. They are so appreciative of everything, such a great family.
