£0 remaining for a washing machine
I was contacted as a governor of the children's school, due to J's house being almost empty of food for her children, aged ten, eight and six years old. Her husband has left for good, making the situation more difficult financially. I rushed food parcels to the family and found her in a very distressed state. J's washing machine has now broken beyond repair and, having a busy life with three high maintenance kids, she has become totally reliant on her washing machine and would be very grateful for a replacement.
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?
This lady previously lost her home through physical and mental health issues. After a period in hospital, she moved into temporary accommodation with her adult son and is getting her life back on track. They have now been allocated permanent housing with a housing association, which is an empty flat without carpets, curtains, beds or white goods. Through community support and clever use of free sites, this resourceful pair are gradually furnishing their home but would really appreciate a cooker.
This gentleman has never had a washing machine and has been struggling to wash his clothes by hand, due to his disabilities. Having a washing machine would be life-changing for him, but due to receiving benefits and using a foodbank, he would struggle without your help.
