M, who is disabled, has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), mobility issues due to having surgery on both knees and his lower back, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and poor mental health. Due his health conditions, M has been rehoused into a bungalow, but unfortunately, there are no carpets down throughout the property and this is affecting his health, due to the dust impacting on his breathing and mobility. Carpeting the property would have a huge impact on M's health and wellbeing. Please can you help with the fitting cost?
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200L has been homeless for the past fifteen months, but has finally been offered a new home by a local social landlord. She was forced to move, due to domestic violence and is trying her best to make her house a home, but cannot afford to carpet the house. L, who is amazing, isn't working yet and her only income is Universal Credit. We have an offer of free carpets, which is just amazing, but need some kind Acts 435 donors to help us with the cost of carpet fitting.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200L, who has recently been rehoused due to fleeing domestic abuse, left the women's refuge with literally just the clothes she was wearing and set up home from scratch. Her income is only Universal Credit, but L is looking for work as she wants to live as normal a life as possible. Her new home has no carpets down, but we can provide these free of charge if we can just get a little help with the fitting costs.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200S, a single mum who is really struggling to get by at the moment, is behind with some of her bills and this is really affecting her mental health. The major issue is the cost of heating her home, as mum has no floor coverings down anywhere in her house and her bills are really high. Mum's only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings so can't afford floor coverings. Please could you help us to make her home into a warm, homely place for her and her children by donating towards the fitting cost of the free of charge carpets?
