Mum, who is a single parent to her son, is very isolated and doesn't have any friends or family to turn to for support. She is struggling financially as she has had to give up work in order to care for her son. Mum would love to buy some new clothes for her and her son, especially as the weather gets colder. She doesn't like leaving the house in the same clothes and feels that she is being judged. This would help to build up mum's confidence and happiness. Please could you help? Thank you.

Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This young mum is in need of clothes and nappies for her three year old who has special needs. The family members are from Bulgaria and speak only a little English so are finding work is hard. Dad has found some work on a zero hours contract, but as the family does not yet have settled status, they are not entitled to any benefits. Being able to buy new clothes for their son would mean that he can be kept warm during the winter season, and nappies would keep him dry and comfortable. Please can you offer help to this family?
