£70 needed for a small freezer

K is 17 and has complex needs. He is autistic and has ADHD and learning difficulties. He is living in a bedsit in Newquay. He is struggling financially and currently gets his food on a monthly basis. He has a fridge and has said that he turns the fridge to its highest setting and 'it turns into a freezer'. I advised this wasn't ideal especially with perishable foods and meats. I offered him some food vouchers for now. It would be beneficial for K to have a small freezer to store frozen food correctly.

£120 needed for Microwave/TV Licence

Girl in a very low state following being told her child will be offered for adoption and the death of a man she was married to for 14 years who was found starved to death - she was the only person at his funeral last week. She is spending a lot of time in the flat with curtains closed. Could Acts 435 donors consider support to get her a microwave? Also we have found her a TV - but she needs a licence - this would mean she could have hot food and some distraction. Many thanks.
