A little help for Stephen
Stephen lives in Long Eaton with his wife Samantha and two young children Amie and Jack. He worked for 10 years as a contracting electrician for a Nottingham based ECA member company.
Stephen has a mental illness, which meant he had to take time off work, and eventually, resigned from his job. This put a strain on the family finances so he approached the EEIBA and asked for financial help.
As a result, the EEIBA gave him help and advice on State Benefits, provided him with an immediate needs grant and a weekly grant to help him and his family through this difficult time.
This year the charity is requesting your help by supporting the 2008 Christmas Card Appeal.
