£0 remaining for debt arrears
D has come far from his homelessness and drug habits, and has started to rebuild his life. He still has disabilities, and claims Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit, but is no longer drug taking. D is in supportive living, but has had to pay for extra support which he was not told about and, due to very low income, this has caught up with him and is in arrears. He has not been eating properly and not taking hygienic care of himself, due to trying to clear the arrears.
S is a single mum of 4, struggling to get by on her low benefit only income. She is behind on her mortgage payments and has amassed energy arrears. She has reached out to her local Citizens Advice Bureau for help with her debts, however it will take some time to find the best solution. Please may you kindly consider supporting this family with a supermarket voucher to help them buy food and energy whilst they receive the help they need? Thank you.
This young man went into insolvency due to astronomical rents and a motorcycle accident, just after lockdown. He received Statutory Sick Pay, which he struggled to cover all his expenses on. Shortage of affordable housing has it made very difficult to find somewhere affordable and he has been working over fifty hours a week lately to provide for the rental deposit on a new place. This young man is now in need of a washing machine/dryer and it would be great to help him collaboratively to make ends meet.
N has been through a very turbulent time with unfortunately suffering an infestation of rats. She and her two children had to move into temporary accommodation whilst the landlord fixed the problem, although N had to contribute to the costs. N has heart failure having had 3 cardiac arrests. She is on Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments. The rats had got in via a disused drain and have destroyed the daughter's bed, storage, chest of drawers, clothing, everything in that room, where they have chewed through and left excrement and urine everywhere.
