£0 remaining for a washing machine
This family of five are doing their best to thrive together. Due to her son’s additional needs, mum is unable to work full-time so must be careful with finances. She is doing everything she can to support the family, whilst also managing her own trauma and health. Currently, they do not have a washing machine, which is causing added stress. Mum finds it hard to leave the home alone, so having to walk to a launderette with their loads of washing is adding stress, as well as using up more finance.
This mother, who was referred to us by a sister organisation, is living in local authority accommodation which has developed a severe mould problem. As a result, mum was forced to move into temporary housing until the issue was resolved. Now that she has returned to her home, many of her belongings are damaged beyond repair. Mum urgently needs a new bed and mattress, among other things. Any help towards this endeavour will be greatly appreciated.
This woman, who is a victim of domestic violence, has been in a refuge with her two year old daughter for several months. The situation is extremely stressful, affecting her health and her child's emotional and social development. With no support network, mum has secured a tenancy in Southend, but can't move due to a lack of basic goods. We kindly request your assistance to help furnish her new home. Specifically, we need a washing machine and a month's supply of food for this mother and child. Thank you.
This single mother of two was referred to us by our sister organisation as she is in need of a large fridge freezer. As a single mum with a baby and a three-year-old with disabilities, the lack of a fridge freezer impacts her meal preparation and storage, causing significant stress and requiring multiple bus journeys with her children. This also strains mum's finances, and so we would also like to provide a food parcel for a couple of weeks. Any assistance towards this would be greatly appreciated.
