£0 remaining for a washing machine and a microwave
X, who we met at the toddler group at our church, is living on a very low income and struggling with anxiety. She disclosed that she is really worried about the situation at home, and is in a dispute about her benefit income with an ex-partner. This is being resolved, but X has been living with only part of her benefits for weeks. Her partner took the microwave and washing machine from the house when he moved out and X has no finance to replace these. Please could you help?
Mum is a single parent to her three daughters, one of whom has quite high health needs, and the family are very isolated. The oven has broken and mum is struggling to make affordable meals for her family. She is struggling with her finances and isn't able to cover the cost of a new oven. We would like to help mum with the cost of a gas oven which would make a big difference to this family, as mum would be able to cook healthier and more economical meals. Please could you help this family? Thank you.

This family are currently living with poor home conditions in an overcrowded house. Mum has poor mobility and ongoing health conditions, and is sleeping on a sofa, making her issues worse. She is in the process of acquiring a new property with an extra bedroom to alleviate the situation. Mum, who is struggling financially, would really appreciate a new double mattress to help alleviate her back pain and health conditions. This would enable her to have better rest and improve her health. Thank you.
