£0 remaining for a double mattress and eight curtains
N is a single mum of five children and the eldest two boys don’t live with her. She only gets benefits for two of her children because of the benefit cap. N is trying to encourage her boys to come home to be with the family and needs to make her conservatory into a bedroom as there is nowhere for them to sleep, but there are no curtains or a mattress for the bed. N is desperate to restore her relationship and have them come back to the family home. Please can you help towards eight curtains and a double mattress?
T, who is twenty seven year old and a single mum to two young children, is in desperate need of a cooker. She has fled domestic violence and is trying so hard to build a better future for herself and her children. T cannot currently see a way forward and we are supporting her as much as we can. She has become involved in our local church community and this is an enormous help to her. T is unable to replace her broken cooker as she has little left after she had paid her bills. Please can you help?
This lady is self-employed, running a community organisation for women's mental health. She is separated from her partner, who left her and the children in debt with all the bills when he went back to his own country. Due to all the stress, mum has had some time off work and, therefore, there has been a loss in wages this year and she is going further into debt as the months go by. This lady needs her car to earn her living and transport her children to school, but the car needs repairs.
This lady, who is an Afghan refugee, has had to leave her home, due to domestic violence. She has spent some time in a refuge, but has now moved in to her own place. Mum and her small children had to leave everything. Mum is particularly asking for help with the cost of wardrobes for herself and her children, as they have no storage. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
