Request Details
I desperately need help with my electric meter costs. I am currently on a prepayment meter so am paying more for my electric than people who do not have one. I am always having to use the emergency £5.00 as my benefits do not adequately cover my energy costs and I often have to go without heating and hot water as a result of this so am often unable to do basic things as take a bath or heat my flat properly. Please help me with this as it makes my mental health condition worse and I worry about getting by.
£20.00 GBP
I desperately need a working fridge freezer as the one I have has broken down and no longer works therefore I have nowhere suitable to store my refrigerated and frozen food and liquids such as milk and fruit juice. I have seen a second hand fridge freezer in good working order advertised and would like to purchase it but do not have the funds to do this so I need your assistance in order to go ahead and do this. Please help me with this as I will have nowhere suitable to store my food and it will go off and go to waste which I cannot afford.
£30.00 GBP
