Total needed £200Young mum who fled domestic violence on very low income was given a place of her own in a new area. Mum had sheets at the windows but now feels safe enough to put blinds up.

Total needed £150A has been forced to flee a violent relationship: she suffered years of physical, emotional and financial abuse. She has 2 small children and has been living in a refuge for over 6 months. A property has now become available but the policy of the social landlord is not to provide carpets - A simply can't afford them due to her income only being from benefits.

Total needed £200Thanks to wonderful Acts435 donors our debt client now has a carpeted bedroom and we would love for her sitting room to also have a carpet. Although she is in work she lives on a low income and her budget has become very tight due to her rent almost doubling since she moved in only a few years ago. This last bit of carpet will help her keep her flat warm and hopefully mean she can spend less on heating.
