Friends of Karen and Rob had their savings wiped out when a severe storm damaged their roof and their insurance company failed to cover it. When car trouble hit too, it left them struggling to get to work and with three kids to support, the stress was taking its toll.  Karen and Rob notified their Common Change Group, who were happy to gift £750 towards the purchase of a secondhand car; a gift that enabled the family, hit by so many setbacks, to get back on its feet.
