£0 remaining for a tumble dryer
This couple, who are on a low income, have a variety of health needs and conditions, including some incontinence problems. Their tumble dryer has broken beyond repair, having set on fire. Due to their health condition, they are very reliant on the tumble dryer, but cannot afford to replace it. They would really benefit from your support.
I have been asked by a Housing Officer to help this vulnerable lady, who usually has support, to manage her bills with energy vouchers. Sadly, the funding has run out and she is in need of a new vacuum cleaner as hers is broken. This lady is required to keep her flat clean, but has no spare money from her benefits to buy one. I will buy an Argos voucher for her with the Acts 435 donations so that it goes towards a cleaner. Please would you help her? Thank you.
This lady has recently moved into a new house with her four children after suffering domestic abuse. Her ex-partner has left her with a lot of debt and she is constantly living in an overdraft which incurs over £150 in fees and overdraft interest. This lady has to drive her children to three different schools and is not eligible for help with transport, so she is spending an average of £20 a day on fuel. She is due to receive debt advice from Christians Against Poverty, but needs help in the meantime. Thank you.
This lady, who has a history of depression and anxiety, fled her partner, due to domestic violence, and relocated with a friend in Buxton. Her friend got ill and the lady became her carer. However, the relationship has just broken down and our client has had to leave the home. The housing association doesn't have a duty to house her, as she doesn't have any significant health issues. This lady, who is coming to us every day for food, is sleeping in her car and, as she only gets a small amount of Universal credit, she cannot pay for her car insurance for this month.
