£0 remaining for a cooker
J is a single mum of three children who struggles to pay for child costs once her bills have been paid. Her electric cooker oven has overheated, causing it to set on fire, and has been condemned. This was her only means of cooking healthy hot food. Mum works part-time and cannot afford to replace it, especially with the rising cost of living.
This request is for a single mum and her three boys who have fled domestic abuse. The family has been given a house by the local housing association and can finally leave the shelter. There is nothing in the property and, although we have been able to source lots of furniture and flooring, there is no washing machine. Mum needs a machine for the three different school uniforms and clothes the kids go through. Please can you help?
M and her husband, who have been homeless for a while, were recently offered temporary shared accommodation and have now moved in. M says that when they moved in, all they had was a bed and nothing else. She is struggling financially to purchase kitchen utensils, a wardrobe and chest of drawers, an armchair to ease her back pains, some bedding, and a dining table and chairs.
JB had been living in Spain with her late husband. Sadly, he died in Spain and she returned to the UK to be nearer family. JB has been living in temporary furnished accommodation, but has been offered a permanent home that is unfurnished. She was working part-time, but was involved in a hit and run accident and is now unable to work. JB is in urgent need of a fridge freezer, but cannot afford one as she is currently on a very low income from Statutory Sick Pay.
