£0 remaining for a refurbished fridge freezer
R, who has just started volunteering at his local church, is a young adult with severe learning difficulties who recently lost his mum who was also his carer and 'rock'. He was taken advantage of by a local drug gang and eventually helped by Social Services and moved to Sussex for his own protection. R is in supported housing, but because of his strict dietary and medical requirements, he would value his own fridge in his room. He cannot afford the appliance, as he is on basic Universal Credit and awaiting a Personal Independence Payment assessment.
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?
