£0 remaining for a cooker
L has an aging cooker which is faulty and keeps tripping the electrics in the house. Her landlord sent an electrician to check the wiring, but he's advised there's nothing wrong with the house but the cooker is the issue. He said that, due to the age the cooker, it was unrepairable. L is a single mum whose only income is basic Universal Credit and she also has no savings. Please can you help us to fund a new cooker for L so that she can feed her children?
L has three young children who share a bedroom. Currently, the children have no storage in their bedroom, so it is very difficult to keep their clothes tidy and clean. Mum would really like to be able to get some wardrobes and chests of drawers so that she can keep their room tidy. However, L is not currently able to work and her Universal Credit only just covers daily living costs, so she is not able to save towards anything.
This refugee family from Afghanistan has been given accommodation in Leeds, following a successful application for leave to remain, but the house is empty of any appliances or furniture. As they are not yet working, the family asks for help with £200 to purchase a used fridge freezer and delivery. This would make it possible for them to not shop every day, and reduce the risk of illness, due to no proper storage. Please can you help them in their quest to settle well?
S and her husband moved to the UK just over a year ago on work visas. S became pregnant whilst here and has been unable to work since her baby, aged three months old, arrived. Mum became ill with mastitis, which necessitated an operation. Visa restrictions mean that they can't claim benefits, and the family are struggling to afford food, with S at risk of malnutrition. They are currently staying with mum's uncle, but there is only one bed so her husband has to sleep on the floor.
