£200 needed for carpet fitting
T is a single mum with three children, one of whom has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and left the bath running by accident, flooding the house. The family had gone out for the day and the taps were running for over twelve hours. The flooring on the stairs, in the lounge and kitchen has been ruined. T doesn't have insurance and her landlord won't pay as it was entirely her fault. Her only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings, so has no hope of replacing the carpets. Any help Acts 435 can offer will be gratefully received.
£200 needed for a washing machine
This woman, who was referred to us by the Social Prescriber, was forced to move from her flat, due to severe abuse and threatening behaviour from neighbours, which escalated to the point that the police became involved. In addition to this trauma, this woman suffers from multiple physical health problems, including spinal cauda equina. The only piece of furniture she was able to take with her is a fridge. We urgently request your assistance with a washing machine, including delivery and installation.
£200 needed for an electric cooker
L, who fled an abusive relationship earlier in the year, and fell pregnant, has moved back to sleeping on her parents sofa, but then was offered a property. She has moved in and we have helped with lots of second-hand furniture, however, she has no cooker. L would really appreciate your support in helping to purchase a cooker so she can cook meals for herself and her little girl. She is currently reliant on Universal Credit so will not be able to afford to purchase a cooker. Many thanks.
£200 needed for house removal costs
S, who receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment, has been living in a first floor council flat. The last few years have been filled with many hospital admissions, some lasting for over a month, which have created mobility issues for S. Her flat cannot be adapted so she has had to source other accommodation. S has secured a tenancy with Anchor Housing in a retirement village where her needs will be supported. Any Acts 435 donations towards the removal costs will help her financially.
£150 needed for children's wardrobes and chests of drawers
L has three young children who share a bedroom. Currently, the children have no storage in their bedroom, so it is very difficult to keep their clothes tidy and clean. Mum would really like to be able to get some wardrobes and chests of drawers so that she can keep their room tidy. However, L is not currently able to work and her Universal Credit only just covers daily living costs, so she is not able to save towards anything.
£200 needed for car insurance
A is a single mother who is registered disabled and is unable to work. She home-schools her teenage son and relies on her car for transportation to educational activities. Facing severe financial difficulties, her car insurance of £218.92 is set to expire in three weeks time. Without this, A risks losing access to essential services and becoming isolated. Any support would help her maintain transportation, ensuring her son's education and preventing further isolation. Thank you for your consideration.
£200 needed for a sofa bed
P had to leave her accommodation, due to personal safety issues, and lost all her belongings in the process. She is unable to work, due to mental and physical health problems, including sciatica and arthritis. These are being aggravated by her only having a blow-up bed to sleep on at present, and she has nowhere comfortable to sit. P awaits the outcome of her Personal Independence Payment application. A sofa bed would dramatically improve her quality of life and help her have the strength to deal with her situation.
£200 needed for food and clothes
S is an asylum seeker who fled from Kurdistan in Iraq with her mother because of religious and family conflicts. Her family also wanted her to marry a cousin, a man much older than her. They live in a hotel where the food provided is inadequate, S has no recourse to funds for buying food and clothes, and her mother has been ill. Please would you help to bring change to their lives? Thank you.
£200 needed for living room flooring
L, who has escaped domestic abuse, has been rehomed twice, once in temporary accommodation and now in a permanent home. The home has concrete floors which are unsuitable for her small two year old daughter, making the house cold, and also making it very difficult for her to play with and be with her child. Please would you help us arrange better flooring, either vinyl or a carpet, to make life better for L and her child?
