£200 needed for carpet fitting
Firstly, thank you for reading this request. Our client, D, is an elderly lady who has recently had a flood in her home. Sadly she isn’t insured and it falls to her to repair the damage caused. One thing she needs is new carpets/vinyl: we’re in a position to provide these free of charge as D can’t afford them. But she needs help to pay for the cost of fitting them. Her only income is from state pension and we’re praying a kindly donor will help. Thank you.
