£0 remaining for a fridge freezer
N, who has come to Crosslight Advice for help with her debts, has been in a hostel for six years and has finally been permanently housed. However, the flat is bare, and she has very few belongings. Her physical and mental health has deteriorated to the point where she has been unable to work for the last six months. We hope that the local council will help N with the absolute essentials, but she does not have a fridge freezer. Are you able to help?
