£0 remaining for heating oil
This family is in one of the few houses off grid in our town and, as such, need oil for their heating. Because they won't deliver small amounts (minimum 500 litres), the family cannot afford to order any. They are a three generation family living together with a number of disabilities in the house so really need heat. They are being linked in with other support to help with food, but only electricity and gas vouchers are available locally. They would really appreciate your support in time for Christmas.
T, a single parent who also works as a nurse, is struggling with debt and trying to make ends meet, but has no recourse to public funds. In order to get to her shift on time in the morning, mum has to take a taxi journey of nine miles to work, as she is unable to drop off her young daughter at breakfast club before school early enough to be able to take a bus. Please would you help to support her as she tries to care for her child while finding ways to get herself back on her feet?
R lives with her partner and two children aged three and four. Her four year old has autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Mum is in receipt of Universal Credit and Child Benefit. Her chest freezer has broken; she goes shopping once a month in order to batch buy and the freezer means the food lasts longer. Due to her son's conditions, he is a picky eater and going shopping is difficult. We are requesting support for her to be able to replace her freezer.
