£200 needed for carpet fitting

Our client recently moved into a council property; however, the house has no flooring. Living on benefits, this lady is unable to cover the cost herself. Proper flooring will make the home safer, warmer, and more comfortable for daily life. The carpets have been supplied free of charge, but your kind support towards the fitting cost will help her turn this bare space into a real home where this lady can feel settled and secure. Thank you.
