£0 remaining for car insurance and bills
R is a single mum of three children who usually works in a care home. She is currently on maternity leave, but has been abandoned by the father of her baby and doesn't have access to public funds. R has insufficient money to cover even her rent, but particularly needs to continue to insure her car so that she can get her kids to school. Mum is unlikely to be able to return to work until January, due to health concerns, and would greatly appreciate any support she can get to pay key bills in the meantime.
J is a single mum to her eighteen year old daughter, who is also her carer. They both struggle with their mental health and mum has a lot of complex medical needs. Their washing machine has broken and they are currently washing their clothes by hand, which is difficult for J, due to her chronic back pain. They receive a small amount of money from their social worker, but don't have enough money to replace the machine. Any financial support towards a replacement would be gratefully received.
P, who lives with her fifteen year old daughter, has been abused by her ex-partner, who is a violent alcoholic and manipulated his way into her home. The police destroyed the front door during a raid on the house and it is now boarded up, but needs replacing, however, P works on a minimum wage and has no savings as her ex-partner has taken her money. The replacement door will cost £768. £500 has been secured from the council and the church will contribute £68, but P is desperate for the remaining £200 to make her home safe.
S has worked hard to get to a point that he is ready to regain his independence. He could really benefit from some extra lessons before taking his test later this year. S is desperate to get his driving licence to open his job opportunities, as he has previously worked in highway maintenance and would like to get back into this sector. With employment, this will really set S on the road to be able to secure and maintain accommodation. Each lesson is an hour and a half long, and this will cover 4 lessons.
