£200 needed for a removal van
This applicant's partner left her with debt and no child maintenance, which has significantly impacted her mental health and left her struggling to cope. As a result, her home has become very cluttered, though she has been receiving support from her housing association, her church, a food pantry, and an animal charity who have helped with her cat's neutering and vaccinations. She has also received help to begin decluttering and make her home a safer environment for herself and her daughter. There are still a number of items that need to be removed, but she does not have the funds to arrange this. She is asking for help towards the cost of a removal van so that she can clear the remaining clutter and make a fresh start for herself and her daughter.
