Total needed £200This woman suffers from Paranoid Schizophrenia and also has a learning disability, meaning she is extremely vulnerable and also isolated. After being supported by a mental health worker, it was decided that she needed her flat cleaned (as it was in such a poor state). Whilst it is fantastic that she is getting a fresh start, it also means that some of her old furniture was in such a bad state that it needed to be disposed of. Having recently made contact with her sister, and wanting to build on the relationship, this woman would love to invite her to visit, but has no sofa, so the only place to sit or relax is her bed.
