Sadly evicted from her private rented property, she has had to live in emergency accommodation for about six months and has finally been offered a place of her own. However, mum does not have the funds needed to move her belongings to the new house. This money, if raised, will pay for the local, immensely supportive man with a van to carry out this removal for her at a discounted rate. Many thanks for your consideration.
