£0 remaining for a fridge freezer
This mum and daughter have been doing so well after suffering from domestic abuse. They have been away with a volunteer and came home to a broken fridge freezer and all the food has gone off. They are struggling financially, as mum is on benefits, so unable to afford to buy a replacement one.
M, who has been living in sheltered accommodation and sofa surfing for several years, has been given an unfurnished flat. She has managed to get some furniture, but is desperate for a fridge freezer. M loves cooking and is going on a course to help her which is organised by a charity. She is waiting on benefits to be arranged so she can buy food in the sale and freeze it. M suffers from depression and cooking is a therapy for her. Please can you help?
Our client was referred to us after he was found to be living in extremely cramped circumstances. Due to a relationship breakdown, he split from his partner and became the sole guardian of all six of his children. They moved into a three bedroom property with no furniture and his children are currently sleeping in sleeping bags and on couches. Due to a low income, dad cannot afford beds. This funding would allow him to purchase enough beds and bedding to ensure his children have a comfortable place to sleep.
This client came to us for support after she had recently moved into her new property after living in a hostel with her four children for the past two years. Mum now has her own accommodation, however, she cannot afford to purchase beds, due to low income and high outgoings. Mum has been helped by the local council with other furnishings, however, she is in desperate need of beds to ensure her children have a comfortable place to sleep. This support would give her the fresh start she is desperate for.
