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.
