I had a chat with this client yesterday and she told me she has some health issues which are being impacted by not having a bed. In fact, she has not had a bed to sleep on for fourteen years, just an old mattress at times. Our client has recently been moved into new accommodation, due to domestic violence, and would love to start afresh with somewhere comfortable to sleep to improve her wellbeing. She is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, so cannot afford a replacement. Thank you for considering this request.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200I had a chat with this client yesterday and she told me she has some health issues which are being impacted by not having a mattress. In fact, fourteen years she has slept on an old mattress or none at all. She has recently been moved into new accommodation, due to domestic violence, and would love to start afresh with somewhere comfortable to sleep to improve her wellbeing. As our client is in receipt of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, she has no money to put towards a replacement mattress. Thank you for considering this request.
Still £175 left to donate
Total needed £175I had a lovely chat with this client who was placed in temporary accommodation in early 2022. Her case was overlooked and she was deemed as not a housing need, eventually becoming homeless. In 2024, our client was picked up by Streetlink and placed in St Mungo's for a week. She was then moved to a winter shelter which was not suitable for her medical needs. This lady has finally found suitable housing, but is in need of a furniture and white goods. She said a washing machine would be wonderful. Thank you.
