£0 remaining for a freezer
M, who is single, is not fit for work and needs support to live independently. She would like to save money on her food bill by bulk buying more, but currently has to store most of her frozen food in a friend's freezer as she only has a small frozen compartment in her own fridge freezer. However, sometimes there is no space in her friend's freezer. Consequently, M either has to throw food out or buy smaller portions which is more expensive as she is only cooking for herself.
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.
