Our client, J, was homeless and is now housed in a small flat. The living room has a bare concrete floor and they need a carpet for this, but are struggling to afford it. At the moment, they cannot work because they have mental health issues, and are having to manage on Personal Independence Payment and incapacity benefits. Having a decent carpet in the living room would make their flat feel much more like a home.
Still £185 left to donate
Total needed £200This couple have just moved into a new flat, but have very little furniture. The lady is six months pregnant so needs something comfortable to sit on. They are due to receive a bed soon from Carezone, a local Christian run second-hand furniture store. They receive Universal Credit, but have no spare money to buy armchairs. Please would you help them to make their flat more comfortable, especially as they prepare for the baby's arrival? Thank you.
