Our client is an asylum seeker from religious controlled Uganda, who was at risk of being kidnapped and forced to convert. She currently only has a counter top fridge, which is too small and means she has to shop daily which costs too much. As she is an asylum seeker she only has enough to buy food for the week but has no extra funds to purchase large items. Her local church has donated lots of other furniture, she would be really grateful for your help to purchase a fridge freezer.
