£0 remaining for an under-counter cooker
This lady, who was referred to us by the local foodbank, is a single parent with three children living at home, one of whom has additional needs. Her cooker is broken, which is making it difficult to cook for the family and, with winter approaching, there is a need to provide hot meals. Mum is currently receiving benefits and generally manages her money well, but does not have enough spare to be able to save for a new cooker. Any help will be very gratefully received.
This lady has had a really positive year in dealing with problems which have plagued her for years. She finally faced up to her problem debt and as of last month now is free from this and is looking to the future with hope. However, the fallout of the process towards being debt free has left her really short at a difficult time of year with Christmas just round the corner. This money, if raised, will pay for a food shop which will see her through the month of December and into a brighter 2025.
