£0 remaining for curtains, cooking equipment and a second-hand sofa
R has lived in temporary, single parent accommodation with her one year old daughter for over eight months. She has just been given some good news; a flat of her own, and picked the keys up yesterday. R is so excited to set up a safe home for her daughter, but is also anxious, as she has no spare money from her Universal Credit to buy a sofa, curtains and cooking equipment. Please can we help this wonderful mum to start afresh, making this flat a home and safe place to make happy memories in?
J and her husband have recently moved to the UK from India and J is pregnant with twins. Although both are working, they are on low wages and J is now on maternity leave, but is not entitled to benefits. They are living in one room in a multi-occupancy house, but are shortly due to move to a private flat. J and her husband have no savings, as all of their money is spent on bills and the house move. The church has helped with many baby items, but they desperately need a double buggy to enable the babies to go out.
