£0 remaining for a cooker
This thirty nine year old woman, with a severe hearing disability due to a stroke when she was younger, struggles with drug addiction and lives in Social Housing, supported by our local Help Hub. She is in receipt of Universal Credit, is not good with money and is getting help to manage her finances better. Her mother bought a cooker for her when she moved into her flat, but it is not heating up properly so she is at risk of getting food poisoning. It is important that she is able to live independently. Please can you help?

D wanted to write her story herself: "I was left doubly incontinent following assault. In 2021 I was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. Thankfully I'm now in remission, but the tumour affected my mobility severely. This means incontinence accidents happen frequently, making me feel depressed, anxious and isolated. Clothing and bedding must be washed daily. I worked all my life but now need your kindness if possible please. My mattress is in bad condition and I do not have the money to replace it."
J suffers with depression and a severe medical condition, which has led him to struggle with his finances. Unfortunately, several of his white goods have gone wrong recently including his fridge and he is extremely worried because his medication has to be stored in there. Any funds to go towards a new fridge for him would be most appreciated.
