Help to buy fridge + washing machine

I want to say how grateful I am. After being rejected by other charities, the Council and DWP, I was worrying how to cope with two children as a single parent living off student finance. Your work does change lives, it gives hope when people are at their most fragile and have nowhere to turn. Please continue, because people like me need your kindness.

Sensory toys for an autistic child

The items have been received and look great. Mum was extremely grateful for the tent and the toys! The child was sitting in the tent when I arrived and spent most of the time in there! Thank you ever so much.

The family are so pleased that they can now clean the floors of all the crumbs dropped by the four children at home over the school holidays. They’d like to thank you for making it happen.
