£0 remaining for a washing machine
K is a single mum to four kids, having fled domestic violence. She is currently struggling financially and her washing machine has started leaking, meaning she has been having to take all of the family's laundry to the Launderette. This is very time consuming and expensive, and a replacement washing machine would make a huge difference to the family.
R has recently had to move, due to a no fault eviction. His new property has no carpets anywhere upstairs, meaning it is cold, damp and unsafe for his children. R's only income is Universal Credit and he has no savings. We have an offer of free carpets and just need help with fitting costs.
M and her children were living with her family, but fled their home, due to familial conflict and honour-based abuse. They were staying in temporary accommodation, but have now secured more permanent housing. They don't have a washing machine, which means keeping their clothing and bedding clean, and involves regular time-consuming and costly trips to the launderette. M is already struggling financially, as the sole carer for her children, and living independently for the first time.
F and her husband were asylum seekers who have recently been granted leave to remain. This means they have to leave their temporary accommodation immediately. They have secured a Social Housing flat, but it is unfurnished. F and her husband have been supported with a bed and cooker, but there is no washing machine. F has extreme obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) so not being able to keep her clothes and bedding clean is particularly difficult. As asylum seekers, they weren't allowed to work, so they have very little financially.
