A new Wharfedale and Aireborough Christians Against Poverty client is looking for funds to create a bedroom for her three year old Autistic son. She will need to paint the room and furnish it. Her idea is to get sensory items with an ocean theme for him to engage with. The client is struggling to manage with basic bills, on Universal Credit, and is getting support from Foodbanks, as well as us. The room is currently usable and they have no money in order to make it a liveable space for their son.
