£0 remaining for ramps and repair of a mobility scooter
L and her eleven year old son have had to move into temporary accommodation because of raw sewage flooding their flat. L is in a wheelchair and the new property has a step, but no ramp. Her mobility scooter has a puncture which needs repairing. L is in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance and has no other income for her, only for her son. She had to purchase new bedding and furniture because of the flooding to her property and has been left with no spare cash. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
I have been asked by a Housing Officer to help this vulnerable lady, who usually has support, to manage her bills with energy vouchers. Sadly, the funding has run out and she is in need of a new vacuum cleaner as hers is broken. This lady is required to keep her flat clean, but has no spare money from her benefits to buy one. I will buy an Argos voucher for her with the Acts 435 donations so that it goes towards a cleaner. Please would you help her? Thank you.
This lady has recently moved into a new house with her four children after suffering domestic abuse. Her ex-partner has left her with a lot of debt and she is constantly living in an overdraft which incurs over £150 in fees and overdraft interest. This lady has to drive her children to three different schools and is not eligible for help with transport, so she is spending an average of £20 a day on fuel. She is due to receive debt advice from Christians Against Poverty, but needs help in the meantime. Thank you.
This lady, who has a history of depression and anxiety, fled her partner, due to domestic violence, and relocated with a friend in Buxton. Her friend got ill and the lady became her carer. However, the relationship has just broken down and our client has had to leave the home. The housing association doesn't have a duty to house her, as she doesn't have any significant health issues. This lady, who is coming to us every day for food, is sleeping in her car and, as she only gets a small amount of Universal credit, she cannot pay for her car insurance for this month.
