£0 remaining for a washing machine
This single mum cares for her seven year old son and is struggling financially. She has a number of debts, and we have offered debt advice and are also providing food bank help. The boy’s father does not help financially. Mum has mental health issues and sciatica, and is unable to work at the moment. Her benefits are used to cover the rent. Mum's washing machine is broken and needs replacing. With your kind donations, we want to help.
S, who receives Employment and Support Allowance, is a frequent visitor to our community centre and adult rolling skating group. She has lived in numerous shared properties for over ten years, meaning her housemates are always changing. Currently, S is living in a room in shared accommodation, but shares the kitchen and bathrooms. Her food is often being taken and she has nowhere to store her fridge items. S would like to apply for any Acts 435 donations to buy a fridge freezer which she will keep in her bedroom.
This request is for a family who are living on Universal Credit so have a very low income. They only have two plates and sets of cutlery which they need to keep washing up to take it in turns to eat. They also have no microwave and only one pan to use to cook. We would love to help this family to have a more functional kitchen set up with a suitable amount of equipment, including a microwave, kettle and toaster, pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, utensils and tea towels.
