HOPE Nottingham

R is a lone mum in full-time employment caring for her six year old child with disabilities. R has recently fled domestic abuse and moved into a new home which is currently without carpets, curtains and basic household goods. She finds herself in a virtually empty house devoid of all household goods with no savings to draw on to furnish the property or meet these essential needs. R is requesting support to buy carpets for the bedrooms at her new home.

A isn't currently working due to disability and ill health - and relies on Personal Independence Payment and Employment and Support Allowance payments. She has recently experienced some unexpected expenses and has needed foodbank support due lack of income. Her fridge freezer has stopped working and she is unable to afford the cost of a replacement due to her financial situation.
