J, who suffers from multiple health conditions, and lives alone, is unable to work, due to his health and is living off a very low income. Sadly, J's bed has broken and it is causing him severe discomfort, and he is unable to replace it, due to his low income. Any support towards a new bed for J would have a massive positive impact on his current situation. Thank you!
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This single mum has significant medical problems causing her almost continuous discomfort, which is currently exacerbated, due to the poor condition of her mattress. Mum receives Child Benefit, Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment. She moved to secure tenancy, but incurred debts, due to misunderstandings, and continues to pay back arrears, which is putting a huge strain on her low income. A new mattress would enable her to sleep better, or at least get more rest, enabling her to cope with the daily challenges she faces.

D has been very debilitated physically by the treatment and is using more heat in the house as she suffers greatly from the cold. D's daughter has reduced her work to part-time to help care for her mum. A donation would help this family keep the house warm and buy nutritious food.
