This young lady, who has fled domestic abuse, had to leave with just the clothes she was wearing and nothing else. She has no money, as her partner controlled all her money, and is waiting for a benefit review. This young lady is now in a safe place to heal and recover, but is in need of warm winter clothes and basic toiletries. The Refuge will help her to buy these things with your gift to her. She is very grateful and finds it incredible that strangers want to help her.
