A is a single mum whose husband died a few years ago and she is raising her young daughter alone. English is not her first language and she is doing her best to work a few hours a week around her daughter's school hours, but has to claim benefits to help her get by too. A's washing machine recently broke and she has no money to pay for a replacement. Our church already supports her as best they can, but our furniture project doesn't cover white goods. Please can you help?

This lady desperately needs to sell her flat to clear substantial debts. She previously worked at Gatwick Airport, but a back fracture followed by a heart attack led to job loss and spiralling debts, in turn leading to anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. Since working with Christians Against Poverty, this lady has become a regular attender at our mid-week discipleship group and is slowly turning her life around. Money for man with van hire and an Energy Performance Certificate would be very much appreciated.

L, a single parent who has been vulnerable for many years, is contending with difficult mental health and in poor living accommodation. We have been advocating for her since 2021. Mum's house is nearing completion after a very protracted and challenging period where so many issues have had to be addressed in the property. L's washing machine has just broken and is is her birthday today. We would value your help to get a new washing machine which is critical for any home.

This single Christian lady and homeowner is on a limited income from Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment with no savings. She has a hole in her roof that needs fixing urgently as the leek is near to electric points. This lady, who is a regular churchgoer, has had a quote of £350 and is asking for £200 towards this.

C, a mum of two children aged twelve and thirteen, suffers from depression, anxiety and panic attacks, and is a recovering alcoholic. Recently made redundant, and nearly evicted, she is separated from her husband who currently has the children living with him whilst his wife has been dealing with health concerns. C receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment and is making progress in paying off her debts. She is moving to be closer to her children but is unable to cover the removal costs, therefore, we are requesting £200 to help with this new start.
