This young woman, who has autism and also suffers from clinical post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), has recently had to be hospitalised in a mental health unit. She receives Universal Credit and has applied for Personal Independence Payment. This young woman has now been allocated an unfurnished flat and another local charity is helping with furniture, but she really needs a washing machine. We can supply and deliver a second-hand one with a six-month warranty. Please would you help?

Total needed £175This young woman, who is autistic and also suffers from clinical post traumatic stress disorder, receives Universal Credit and is applying for personal Independence Payment. She has recently been given a house so she can live independently, although family are close by. There are no carpets in the house so it is very echoey. This does not help this young woman's sensory overload and she finds it quite distressing. Her mum has sourced a lounge carpet plus fitting. Can you please help her get the carpet she needs?
