£0 remaining for a fridge freezer
J is a single lady, who lives alone. She is on long term sick leave due to a mental health crisis and a long term health condition. J's fridge/freezer has broken down and unfortunately this resulted in the food in the freezer being thrown away. J uses the foodbank once a month, and has recently applied for Universal Credit as her Statutory Sick Pay has stopped. She receives Personal Independence Payments but the money that comes in is not enough to cover the essentials, let alone when something goes wrong.
Having served eighteen months in an open prison, this man was released, only to find himself homeless for two months before a local social housing company secured him a flat. He has literally had to start from scratch to equip it, is making good progress, and pacing the expenditure well. However, our client is finding the £16 charge to wash and dry his clothes at the launderette too great a hit to his small Universal Credit income. He would love his own washing machine instead. Can you help him, please?
This lady has fled domestic abuse and has been living in temporary accommodation with her children, one of whom is a baby. They have now moved to a new home and mum had been sleeping on the floor as there was no bed. She needs a mattress to go on her double divan bed. The oldest child often wakes and needs a reassuring cuddle with mum at night, due to the past trauma. Mum is on benefits and cannot afford to buy a mattress. She was so grateful that she was going to have a bed at last.
This lady, who has fled domestic abuse, was in temporary accommodation with her children, one of whom is a baby. The baby was born prematurely and still needs extra help at home. Bedding and clothes need very frequent washing for all the family. The old tumble drier broke down and there is no money to replace it. Mum is on benefits and struggles with bills. There is little space in the flat to dry laundry and in safety, so a tumble drier is vital to this family. Please will you help them?
