£200 needed for a fridge freezer
J cannot work due to a range of health and mobility issues. She lives with her two adult children who do not contribute to the rent or bills. However because she lives with non dependents and also is affected by the under-occupation penalty, her Universal Credit is significantly reduced. She has very little money left for essentials each month and her fridge has been broken for a while. With the warmer weather approaching this is a real problem and she would really appreciate your help to buy a fridge.
