£0 remaining for a skip to clear the garden
C, who has three adult children, has been plunged into debt through ill health, mixed with varying work patterns, which has meant she has had several overpayments of benefits. She has had to repay this on only the most basic income. During this time, C's garden has become a dumping ground for old electrical items and other rubbish. It would remove a little bit of misery if her garden was cleared, whilst Christians Against Poverty helps her deal with the bigger financial pressures.
A is a young woman who is suffering from ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and anxiety disorder. She recently started working two part-time small jobs, with help from friends. A now has her own place, but is in need of a fridge freezer as, due to her anxiety, she self harms and sometimes cannot go outside for weeks. She needs to buy food in bulk when she gets paid, just in case she has a breakdown and cannot face going outside. A is really trying to improve her life and fit in the best she can with society.

S is a refugee who is very involved in our local support group. He helps as a case worker to support asylum seekers and other refugees. It would help him a lot to have his own laptop instead of only a phone. This would enable S to better support others while also continuing to improve his own English for future job applications. Thank you so much for helping him to get his own laptop!
