£0 remaining for a fridge and a cooker
E is a single mum who, after many years living in very overcrowded conditions with her young son, has been offered a one bedroom flat. She is looking for donations of second hand furniture, but urgently needs a fridge and a cooker in order to move in. She is dependent on Universal Credit and is struggling to cover the costs of making the flat habitable. Her son is now four and a half years old and he has never had his own space in which to grow and develop. The pressure on both of them has taken its toll. Please can you help them?
This single male presented at foodbank in a state of crisis with nowhere to turn. We have been able to help him with food and fuel, as he disclosed that he had not had any heating or water for four months. At present his mental health is deteriorating and he is under the care of the Mental Health services. At present our client is sleeping on the floor in his accommodation, as he is in debt and unable to raise funds for a bed and mattress. We are kindly seeking your support.
Our client is a single parent who receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment to live on, and has an old mattress where the springs are poking through. She is in need of a replacement, which is second-hand, but in good order, so that she doesn't have to worry about being hurt by the springs in her current mattress. Our client suffers from arthritis and back pain, and a new mattress would make a big difference to her life at night time. We hope that you can help this woman in her need.
I am supporting a wonderful young woman who has been through extensive and high risk domestic abuse. Thankfully, she has now moved into more secure accommodation to give her some much needed independence and safety. This young woman needs to purchase some items for herself to make her new place homely, and provide some practical solutions. She would like to purchase a new wardrobe and some small storage solutions.
