£0 remaining for a stairlift
A mid forties working adult had a stroke resulting in him being hospitalised for five months, suddenly becoming a full-time wheelchair user and being unable to continue working, so is now unemployed. This dad is also a carer for his young autistic son. His wife, the mother of their son, had to give up her job as a fully trained nurse, due to a cancer diagnosis. A stair lift is essential to access the upstairs bathroom (instead of being humiliated with using a commode), and ease the pressure on his wife who is now his carer.
R has been living in a very basic hostel for almost year, due to lack of suitable housing after he was made homeless. He now has a flat, after his long wait, and is really keen to make it more liveable. R would really appreciate any help you could offer to get carpets for his bedroom and living room, as his floor is bare wood. He has been really proactive and has managed to source some furniture and some lamps, but the flooring lets in the cold and it would be a huge help to him to get carpets.
