This lady, who is on benefits, is a victim of domestic violence who has had to flee her home and is now trying to set up a new home with her young children. The bedrooms have no flooring and don't feel very cosy. We are able to source the carpets for free, but need help with the cost of fitting. If you are able to help, especially as it gets colder, this would be much appreciated.
Still £160 left to donate
Total needed £170This lady, who is a victim of domestic abuse, has had to flee her home with her children and is trying to make a new start and a home for her children. Her bedroom and the stairs have no flooring and mum does not have the means to buy any as she is on benefits. The house would feel much warmer and more like a home with carpets. We have been able to source the carpets for free, but need help with the cost of fitting. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Total needed £170After suffering many years of domestic violence, S finally found the strength to leave with her two teenage children, and received support from the police and Social Services. She was moved to a house which had a lot of issues with the neighbours, and was totally unsuitable for a young family. S is in the process of moving to her forever home and the children are very excited. She has told me that she just wants to live a peaceful life, but she cannot afford to replace her broken cooker out of her benefits!

The child is small and needs a cot-bed which can be extended as the child grows. Bedding is also needed as she wets the bed.
