£0 remaining for a fridge freezer
This singe mother has two teenagers, one of whom is dependent on 24/7 care after suffering from a severe brain injury with multiple seizures per day. Mum was sexually exploited resulting in severe mental and physical challenges. The family have refugee status in temporary accommodation (while awaiting permanent housing) with a small, hotel sized fridge freezer. Mum cooks fresh and is forced to visit the supermarket two or three times per day, taking her daughter as she can't be left alone. Mum also travels ten miles a day by bus to where her daughter attends school.
S has just moved into his first secure tenancy after being homeless for a period of time. His floorboards are bare and he is looking for carpet for the living room, bedroom and hall. He will pay any excess himself, but has limited money as he is on Universal Credit. We have known S for seven months, having helped him get this flat and the furniture for it. He is attending our support group and a Bible study. S is working towards getting a job soon.
