£60 needed for bankruptcy fees

S has struggled with debt for years but things have continued to build up and get worse. It's now at the stage where there are bailiffs knocking on the door, threatening to remove the little he has. He knows he needs to go bankrupt as there is no way to repay his debt - this is his only hope at a fresh start and freedom from the anxiety it is causing him and his family. He can't afford the total bankruptcy fee but £150 will complete what he has already raised from elsewhere enabling him to go ahead.

£80 needed for a new gas cooker

F is a single parent on benefits. She has lost two of her four children to a congenital condition, the last one about 4 years ago. Her oldest son, who had learning difficulties, died of Covid-19 in January. The loss of the disability benefits has meant a huge drop in her income. She is having to support the son's wife, who is in the UK on a spouse's visa and does not have recourse to public funds. F is very worried about her old gas stove not being safe. Can you help her to get a replacement?

£130 needed for a tumble dryer

L is a single mum with three young children. She has a 7 year old, a 4 year old and 19 month old. Her 7 year old has got ADHD and autism and she is her daughter's carer. Life hasn't been easy during lockdown as the lack of routine made each day with her daughter more difficult. L is on benefits and can't afford to pay a lump sum to buy a tumble dryer. Obviously having three young children it's pretty hard for her to get clothes dry quickly enough. We met L when delivering food as part of a holiday hunger project. Any help would be so appreciated.

£150 needed for a lounge carpet

This lady, a mum and her two children, have fled from years of domestic abuse. She has been rehomed and although she has managed to get many household items, she still needs carpet. She works part time to fit around her children and receives universal credit but it is not enough to save for expensive items like carpet. Her daughter has asthma so a carpet would make life more comfortable for them. Any help that you can give would be really appreciated.
