E is a single mother who is working hard to meet the needs of her three children, but doing this alone is a challenge at times. Her oven has broken and, in the build up to Christmas, the family of four are living on microwave meals. It would be such a blessing if we could help towards the cost of a new one. E has offered to pay towards this, but being able to help her out with this would be fantastic.
