£0 remaining for a table and chairs
This family with four young children, including a new born, are on a low income and had their whole house affected by an infestation, losing their furniture and possessions. We have previously requested for bunk beds and these were very gratefully received. The family now need a table and chairs to help life work well for them. Their school is supporting and working close.
R is a pensioner living alone and, despite his illnesses, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), he is trying to live independently for as long as possible. R is in desperate need of a replacement cooker. The council serviced his cooker, identified a gas leak and turned the gas off immediately, leaving him with no way of cooking meals. R is living on his pension and has very little disposable income once his bills are paid. Cooking is something that brings R joy.
L is a single parent who is being supported by Social Services. He doesn't have anywhere to keep his daughter's clothes, which makes it very hard to keep them clean and neat, and is adversely affecting her. L has a very low income and can't afford to purchase a wardrobe and chest of drawers. Your support would make a huge difference to L and his daughter.
L is a young asylum seeker who has been in supported accommodation, but has now outgrown this and has been matched to an unfurnished social housing flat. He is being supported by Social Services as a former looked-after child. L is on Universal Credit, but there have been delays processing his application and he can't afford to purchase much for his new home. In particular, he needs a washing machine so that he can keep his clothes and bedding clean.
