£0 remaining for a freezer
R, a young, single mother with a small baby, is currently relying on basic benefit income through Universal Credit and is experiencing financial hardship. She has recently been housed and, although she has a fridge with a small freezer compartment, this is filled with milk for her young baby and mum has nowhere to store frozen food for herself. R would appreciate help to purchase a small freezer.
K lives with her partner and four year old who is waiting for a diagnosis for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Mum has a number of health concerns and is also caring for her partner who has had a heart attack and still awaiting Personal Independence Payment and the fitting of a wet room. The family are currently only receiving Universal Credit which just covers absolute essentials, and are regularly having to attend food larders. The washing machine is broken and the family is unable to purchase a new one so we are requesting support for this.
B is a single mum with a four year old and a two week old baby. Her four year old has speech delay. Mum is currently in receipt of Universal Credit and regularly needs to use the local foodbank. The fridge freezer has broken, meaning she is unable to store food, especially the milk for her baby (she is breast feeding, but needs to store milk as well). We are requesting support for B to purchase a replacement fridge freezer and support her young family.
L is a refugee and single mother who got her status recently and managed to find private accommodation for her and her two kids. The accommodation is without a washing machine and L would like to request your support so she can buy a washing machine as she is currently doing her washing at a friend's house.
