£0 remaining for a bed
C, who has additional needs, lives with her husband and two children. After life-changing medical incidents for both her and her husband, there is significant financial strain on the family. Regularly reliant on Foodbank, the family are concerned about Christmas. C is trying her best to save money each month to purchase a new bed for her son, as the current one is unsuitable. This money would be used to purchase a more suitable bed so that they can afford the daily/weekly essentials.
K, a resettled refugee from Afghanistan, is a single mother and, following some sensitive family issues, she is struggling to sleep and has high levels of stress. Despite this, she enjoys sewing and has hopes of becoming a seamstress. K is currently receiving Universal Credit and has little money to buy anything outside of day to day essentials.
This young mum, who is on a spouse visa, has a three year old with additional needs, and her husband is away in a mental health hospital. She get what little of the Universal Credit he sends her. Mum has been moved by the council, but her cooker was gas and there is no gas in the new place, so she needs a cooker to be able to prepare food for her and her son. Please can you help?
