St. Helen's, Sandal Magna

A has suffered domestic violence and is now on her own, caring for her four children. A dishwasher might seem like a luxury, but with the size of the household, it can both save time and ease the emotional stress that goes with trying to cope with a frightening situation. The cost of repairing A's existing dishwasher makes it more sensible to find a replacement. A says that to have a working unit again would be a great relief.

There is a lot in K's life to cause her stress. She lives alone, her children are not with her at present, she has some debts and just doesn't have enough money coming in to live on. K is taking steps to straighten things out with the help of local agencies. However, her phone has broken, making it extremely difficult to keep in regular contact with those who are helping her. £100 will enable her to get a phone with which she can also access the internet and work online when she needs to.
