£0 remaining for clothing, bedding and bills
D, who was a victim of domestic violence, has been affected by the abuse. After receiving a long-term brain injury, caused by a stroke, she is unable to work and has additional ill health. While struggling financially, her new partner has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is having radiotherapy. Increased energy bills and hospital trips make money tight, and weight loss, due to his treatment, means his clothes don't fit. They only have one set of bedding. With no support, they are struggling to care for each other.
This lady has had an ongoing financial battle for a while, with relationship breakdown and business failure during Covid both being significant factors. One of her two children has severe mental health struggles and it has been as much as she can deal with to care for them. Thankfully she has had some major breakthroughs lately in this situation and has had the space to address her debt difficulties. She has the opportunity of a fresh start through bankruptcy which this funding, if raised, will go towards.
This lady has had to flee domestic violence quickly with her five children. They have had to travel a long distance and have been housed in a bed and breakfast for some time now. They have been offered permanent accommodation in their preferred area near support networks, but mum needs to obtain birth certificates for her and the children to secure this. Given the situation, finances have been tough and she cannot afford the outlay for this.
