£0 remaining for a bed and mattress
N and her three children were homeless for over seven months and living in a hotel. Mum could not afford to store her furniture so when she was rehoused she had to buy second-hand furniture. Mum is sleeping on a broken bed and this is not helping her sleep. She suffers with her mental health and her youngest child is autistic. N feels she would cope better if she had somewhere she could retreat to at the end of the day, where she would feel comfortable and relaxed. Thank you for any help.
J, a single mum of a disabled teenager, has health problems of her own, but has always put her daughter's needs first. This has meant she has not been thinking about herself and the help she is entitled to. J has reached out for help because she cannot afford her basic living costs. She has been advised on what she needs to claim, but applications take a long time to be processed. J is in desperate need of a cooker and has no way of financing it. Please would you you consider helping? Thank you
A was street homeless for a long time before spending eighteen months in hospital due to her mental illness. On her recent discharge, she was allocated a social housing property which is unfurnished. She would greatly benefit from a washing machine as she cannot access a launderette and has a large amount of soiled bedding which needs washing frequently. A, who has no savings and is on benefits, has no family or friends to help her practically or financially, only ongoing support from the mental health team.
This single mum with two young children is struggling to cover her bills as her only income is Universal Credit. Mum has maxed out her credit limits, which she has purposely kept low to avoid long-term debt, but now her cooker has failed. this single mum, who is currently undertaking initial training in Early Years' Education, would love to be able to confidently cook for her children. Please can you help her dream come true this Christmas time?
