£0 remaining for a washing machine
My client, who has two school aged children, has been without a washing machine for two months. She struggles financially with her daily needs and relies heavily on food and fuel banks to look after her household. My client doesn't have any family or friends close by so cannot use their washing machine, and the cost of a laundrette is eating away at their food budget. Christians Against Poverty has recently helped with her debts, but mum is unable to work, due to female health issues.
I am supporting a wonderful young woman who has been through extensive and high risk domestic abuse. Thankfully, she has now moved into more secure accommodation to give her some much needed independence and safety. This young woman needs to purchase some items for herself to make her new place homely, and provide some practical solutions. She would like to purchase a new wardrobe and some small storage solutions.

C is in her late fifties, and has been suffering from back pain for many years which has effected her mobility. She recently was rushed into A&E and was admitted straight into hospital as her condition escalated. She has been diagnosed with severe scoliosis as well as spinal disc disfiguration and misalignment in her lower spine causing her pain and discomfort. The surgeon advised that she must purchase a orthopaedic mattress to relieve the discomfort and pain she experiences 24 hours a day.
