£0 remaining for a second-hand washing machine
J, who has recently started a new life after suffering domestic abuse, is starting to slowly find herself again, whilst looking after her two children, the youngest being just seven weeks old. J is on a low income at the moment, due to having a new baby, and is in no financial situation to replace her old and broken washing machine. She spends most days hand washing in the sink, which is taking its toll on her fragile mental health. A working washing machine would make a huge difference to this lady.
This woman, who is battling Parkinson’s disease and has gone through a relationship breakdown, is now in a refuge with little more than a few clothes. She has endured significant hardship and urgently needs support to acquire warm clothing and bedding as she works to rebuild her life. Your assistance will provide her with the essentials for comfort and dignity during this challenging time.
T, who has recently moved from shared living arrangements to his own home, is currently waiting for support regarding housing benefits and a reduction in Council Tax. As a Universal Credit recipient, he is unable to afford a fridge freezer, which results in frequent and expensive grocery shopping trips. Could you assist this young man by providing him with the means to keep his food chilled and help him manage his budget more effectively by freezing meals?
J came to the charity to ask for food support for the first time, as he recently got asked to go self-employed by his employer. He agreed to this action, but has now found himself with no work and no pay until February 2025. This has added stress to his young family who are unable to manage with no money. We have helped J to make a Universal Credit claim; however, the process time to receive this is long, meaning he will not be able to pay rent and bills. All support will be greatly received.
