£0 remaining for a washing machine
J lived with his wife and children until the relationship broke down. For ten years he sofa-surfed, slept rough and rode night buses. Referred to the rough sleepers team in 2022, he was placed in temporary accommodation and now has permanent housing. Previously a working independent man, J now has a medical condition which has left him unable to work. A washing machine would enable him to maintain his personal hygiene and better manage on his limited income of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment.
Our client, F, is in need of a new oven. Unfortunately, his old one broke and he hasn't got enough money to replace it because he is paying off debts and is currently unemployed, seeking employment. Please can you help F?
A is now the legal guardian for her two grandchildren, as requested by the Home Office. The children relocated abroad over four years ago, but their parents became unable to care for them and both children now have mental health issues. A has received the children's element of Universal Credit, but has numerous unexpected expenses. She requires help to buy a blazer and sweatshirts for the younger child (the school are helping with other items) and suitable non uniform clothes for both.
This lady, who is in a very difficult relationship, is an asylum seeker who has nothing. A vacuum cleaner and a fan is really needed as she lives in a very small studio flat with no carpet, and a very young child who is now crawling.
