£0 remaining for food, utility bills and basic needs
L is self employed and has been struggling to make ends meet, due to increased bills and less work coming his way. He has applied for Universal Credit to help but, as there is a delay before he would receive his first payment, he is asking for assistance to help with paying for food and utility bills in the interim. L has a small amount of savings but, as this primarily will be paying for his rent, he is left with very little towards other needs. Thank you for any help you can provide.
J is a single lady who is estranged from her abusive and exploitative family, so she has no support emotionally or financially. J has many health issues and cannot work or go out of the flat. J is dependent on benefits but has no savings to purchase a much needed washing machine as her current one is irreparably broken. Her health conditions necessitate daily washing of clothes and bedding so a washing machine is vital to her. Any support is appreciated.
K fled an abusive relationship with her young daughter, leaving her career and starting fresh. Diagnosed with a rare spinal disease requiring four major surgeries, she has fought hard to regain stability. Now moved to permanent housing, she has worked tirelessly, saving every penny to collect essential items for their new home. Volunteering at a food bank, she seeks employment that fits family life. A fridge freezer would provide crucial support as they rebuild their lives.
