£0 remaining for an electric cooker
Our client has just moved into permanent accommodation after being in a safe house, having fled domestic abuse with her two young children. Her flat does not have a working cooker or hob so she urgently needs an electric cooker. Our client is currently working with Christians Against Poverty to help her get out of debt, so doesn’t have the income to buy one herself. She has been looking on Facebook Marketplace, but hasn’t managed to find anything. Please can you help?
N is a single parent of her two children aged 14 and 7. She is also carer for her 14 year old nephew whose mother recently died. N recently gave up work as the hours did not fit with her caring role for her own 14 year old son who has autism and ADHD and is unable to sustain school attendance. N is now dependent on a carer's allowance and has no savings to buy a much needed new washing machine as her old one is irreparably broken. N is very grateful for any help for a new washing machine.
L is a single lady who has just moved into social housing after living in a squalid flat for a long time. Her new home has no cooker, so she would be very grateful for support to buy one. L is dependent on benefits due to complex PTSD which prevents her from working. She has no savings due to the house move. L also supports her sick daughter by caring for her 10 year old twin grand-daughters most weekends, so having a cooker is essential for them all.
Our client, who has just been allocated a bedsit after being homeless, has mental health issues after a traumatic event and is unable to work, but volunteers at a charity shop.
