The lady has recently moved to the different council property, but the flat is unfurnished and there are no white goods either. K has struggled for over three months without a refrigerator, washing machine and cooker. She had finally managed to get a used fridge and, thanks to the help of St Vincent de Paul, K will get a washing machine. However, further help is needed with the purchase of a cooker and your help will be greatly appreciated.

L has two daughters and a grandson at home. She is a regular attender at her local church club and is never too busy to help someone. L is a carer for her grandson so she is unable to work. She works hard to budget but doesn’t have spare money for extras. Her fridge freezer is broken and she relies on it to help stock up on good quality cheap food for the whole family as well as everyday fridge use. L just needs a little bit of help for her family.

M is an older lady who works part time and is in receipt of Universal Credit. Due to mobility issues she had to reduce her working hours. She has been in very unsuitable unfurnished temporary accommodation for a number of years but has now been offered the opportunity to move to sheltered housing. She will need to buy white goods and other furniture but has no savings and is also burdened with overdrafts and credit card debt. Can you help M to purchase some essentials for her new home?
