£200 remaining for a washing machine
J, a mum of four primary school aged children, was left in debt by her ex-partner's gambling habit. She has worked with Christians Against Poverty this year to become debt free and to manage her finances. J's washing machine has broken and she needs £200 towards a new one which she cannot afford as she is on Universal Credit and does not want to get into debt again. Having four children means doing washing several times a week and J is currently hand washing in the bath. Please could you help?
F, who is single and lives on his own in a council flat, recently lost his job and is living on a very tight budget. He receives Universal Credit, however, this leaves him with only £20 to live on after bills have been paid. F heavily relies on a foodbank to get his groceries, due to how little he has left. His bed has broken and he cannot afford to replace it. Your support with £175 will help him to buy a replacement. Please can you kindly help with this donation?
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?
S was admitted to hospital after a fall resulting in spinal and rib fractures. She underwent fusion of the lumbar spine and was then discharged back to the place she recently moved into, which has no furniture. She has been sleeping on a broken air mattress, and uses a toaster and kettle for meal preparation. S receives Universal credit and is unable to buy white goods. She cannot shop or lift anything and relies on her son, brother and friends for support. She would appreciate your help to buy a washing machine.
