£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.
Our applicant's son has been caring for his nan and has now moved to his own studio flat. However, he currently does not have a suitable bed and has no means of buying a new one. He he is on Universal Credit and is still in limbo as there have been delays waiting for his benefits to be processed. This young man is currently not able to sleep well.
K is a single mum to two daughters aged five year old and five month old daughter. She was abandoned by the father of her children in her recent pregnancy, so is struggling financially, particularly, as she is now on maternity leave from work so has a limited income. K has moved to a much needed bigger flat and has spent her savings on doing so. Mum's flat has no cooker and she would be grateful for any help to purchase one so that she can feed herself and her children appropriately.
S, a man who is looking after his two young nephews, had to give up work to do this and is currently on benefits with no savings. With two young boys and a dog, he is struggling with a broken hoover and would appreciate any support to enable him to purchase a new hoover to keep the house clean. S is being supported by his local foodbank and has health conditions which are aggravated by dust so it's important he hoovers regularly. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thank you.
