£0 remaining for a second-hand washing machine
S is a mother of three children who came to the UK five years ago. Although her husband is allowed to work, he is unable to, as he has a problem with his eyes which prevents him from doing any physical work. They live with in a flat and are on a very limited income. S has made a request to buy a used washing machine as her old one has been broken. She is washing all the clothes by hand, but it's very difficult to get them dry, especially in a small flat. Your help will make S's life much easier. Thank you.
C, a single mum with one child, has a number of psychical disabilities including bulging discs and a trapped sciatic nerve. Her only income is from disability benefits and she has no savings. C has no carpets in her bedrooms, hallway and kitchen. Carpeting her home will impact hugely on her mental health and overall wellbeing. We have an offer of free carpets, but need help with fitting costs. Any support would be very gratefully received.
C is currently living in a two bedroomed house with her daughters, but there are no floor coverings anywhere in the house. Due to the condition of her property, Social Services has removed her children and given her an action plan to enable her to get them back. This includes carpeting the house and C will never be able to do this without help, as her only income is Universal Credit and she has no savings. Please can you help us to bring this family back together?
Our client is currently on long term sick, due to her medical conditions, including fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She owns her property and has issues with penetrating damp. The costs of the works, in addition to the cost of scaffolding, is unobtainable for our client as she is reliant on benefits, due to her health conditions. A dehumidifier would help to combat the high humidity which is exacerbating her health conditions and help her to maintain a healthy living environment.
