This young, single mum, who was in a private rented property, is waiting for her benefits to be processed as she has moved into new, empty home after a relationship breakdown. Family and friends are all helping towards some furniture and curtains, as financially mum has nothing, and family are not able to help that way. This single mum is suffering anxiety and depression as she tries to explain to the children about all the changes. The floors are all floorboards in the new house. Please can you help mum to get a living room carpet?

She is struggling financially and the family are in need of a new carpet for their landing and stairs. The current carpet is very old and is tearing away, so we would love to help the family to get a new carpet fitted, which would release a lot of stress for mum and make the home safer, warmer and more comfortable for her and her children. Please could you help? Thank you.
