£200 needed for carpet fitting.
Firstly, thank for reading this request. Our client D is a young mum of two, who has recently split from her children's father and moved into a new property with a local housing association (who sadly don't carpet their properties). D is worried about the risk of injury to her crawling baby but she simply doesn't have the funds to carpet the house as her only income is from benefits. We're praying a generous donor will come to her rescue!
£200 needed for a cupboard, sofa, and study table
This woman has been granted permanent accommodation after spending almost two years in a refuge. This is a significant milestone for her, and she is incredibly happy to finally be taking steps towards independence. However, the property provided is unfurnished, meaning she is moving in without some of the basic items. She is currently in need of support to purchase a cupboard for storage, a sofa, and a study table. Your support would help her begin turning this empty property into a real home.
