£0 remaining for a memory foam osteoarthritis mattress
This amazing lady, who is fully disabled with osteoarthritis and fecal joint damage in the spine, has a bed elevator to help her up. She visits our social supermarket to do her weekly shopping, where we help and make sure she gets a hot meal. This lady struggles with severe pain, and this week she was very emotional. Her mattress springs are poking through and have left her with an infected wound. Please can we help her to buy a new osteoarthritis memory foam mattress? Her disability allowance only just covers her bills!
A is a single parent who is in poor health, is dependent on benefits and has no savings or family support. He is the sole carer of his children, due to him ending the relationship with mother of the children when he suffered much abuse at her hands, severely affecting his mental health. A manages well on his limited budget, but is in desperate need of a new double bed, mattress and bedding so that he can sleep well and not aggravate his health issues. However, he is not able to afford an appropriate one. Any help is much appreciated.
J is a single lady who has been living in a safe house for over a year, due to escaping domestic violence. She has now got her own home, but it is unfurnished. J suffers with anxiety disorder as a result of the domestic violence, and also broke her leg a year ago, which hasn't healed so she walks on crutches. She is, therefore, unable to work, as she did, and is now dependent on benefits with no savings. Riviera Life church has provided kitchen essentials and bedding, but J has no cooker and would be grateful for any help.
R has lived in temporary, single parent accommodation with her one year old daughter for over eight months. She has just been given some good news; a flat of her own, and picked the keys up yesterday. R is so excited to set up a safe home for her daughter, but is also anxious, as she has no spare money from her Universal Credit to buy a sofa, curtains and cooking equipment. Please can we help this wonderful mum to start afresh, making this flat a home and safe place to make happy memories in?
