Noah's Ark

Z has been living in a women’s refuge for the last six months with her three children. Her husband had subjected her to years of sustained domestic abuse before she plucked up the courage to leave him. Z had to leave with nothing and is now starting again in a new property. The house is with a housing association and unfortunately is not carpeted. We are hoping our kind Acts 435 donors will cover the cost of fitting if we supply the carpets.

D, an elderly gentleman who is eighty next year, has been living in his house without any form of floor covering for several years. Social Services is now involved, due to concerns about self neglect. To make the property more liveable and warmer, D needs to put carpets down, but he simply can't afford to. We have an offer of free carpets and vinyl, but we need a little hep with the cost of fitting them. Praying our kind Acts 435 donors will support this.

M has recently split from her partner and is now the sole provider for herself and her four children. She is working part-time, but her income is limited. M has lived in her property for the last three years and has been unable to afford to carpet the bedrooms. This is impacting her heating bills and also the children have injured themselves on bare floorboards. We have the most amazing offer of free carpets, and are just praying we can get help with the cost of fitting them.

R is a disabled gentleman who has complex health needs. He has recently been granted a social housing bungalow which is better suited to his needs. His only income is from benefits, as he has no savings or living relatives. The property is not carpeted and Social Services is worried about the impact a damp, cold property will have on his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We have carpets, but are just hoping that some kind and generous donors will help us make R’s home somewhere safe and warm for him with carpet fitting costs.
