Still £130 left to donate
Total needed £150R, a recent Christians Against Poverty client, has recently become homeless, along with his partner and their teenage son. The parents are both dependent upon benefits, due to poor physical and mental health. They have managed to find a rented house, but require a new mattress for the double bed. They have struggled financially to make this new start, as they have had to provide many basic items to make the house liveable. It would be a real blessing if we could enable them to have a clean mattress on the bed.
