£0 remaining for a double bed
E, who is married and lives with her husband, suffers from diabetes, cancer and sclerosis, and has to use a mobility scooter to get around. They have a low income and use a good pantry to eke out the little cash they have. Their bed has broken and needs replacing, but they cannot afford a new one. Her husband is sleeping on the floor on the mattress, and she is on a chair because she cannot get down to the floor or up again.
This family we are supporting had a flat fire and, unfortunately, they did not have contents insurance. The fire has wiped out most of what they owned. We have managed to get together items they need for their new temporary home, but they are short of a wardrobe, duvet and bedding items for mum and her daughter. We would love to be able to support them with these items and make them as comfortable as possible at the time.
D, a single mother of three children, who suffers from health issues related to her back, is currently claiming Universal Credit and studying at College. Her benefits only provide enough money to afford essential items. D has moved into a council property and has no washing machine. She is finding it extremely difficult to keep up with providing clean clothes for her family and would really appreciate some help to get a washing machine.
H has recently moved into temporary accommodation with her family. The studio apartment has basic furniture, but not some essential household items and mum is finding it difficult to keep it clean and tidy. She would be grateful for donations towards a vacuum cleaner, a small camping table and chairs for eating and so the children can do their homework at the table, rather than on their beds. H is also in need of a kettle and would like to buy an air fryer if her budget allows, but as she is on Universal Credit, is struggling to afford these items.
