£0 remaining for kitchen flooring
This lady is currently working with Social Services to, hopefully, take her grandchildren into her care, as her daughter is in a bad way. Social Workers are supportive of this, but a house inspection is due, and this lady is concerned that she has inadequate floor coverings in her kitchen, if there are to be young children in the house. She only receive Carers Allowance, as she cares for her autistic son, so money is tight, but this lady has been saving all she can to prepare for the children's arrival.
J is a single mum with five children who has recently escaped from a twelve year long domestic violence relationship. The family have been living in a safe house, but now have their own home. Mum is dependent on basic benefits as she has pre-school children and suffers with anxiety as a result of the domestic violence. J has no savings, as she was not allowed to have her own money. Her tumble dryer is irreparably broken and she desperately needs a new one to dry the considerable laundry from her five children.
This lady, who grew up in care, has had four children over the last ten years, all of whom are now in the care of relatives, resulting in difficult relationships all round. Mum has not seen any of the children since before Covid. Her Social Worker has referred her to us, as she is now being supported because of domestic violence from her partner. Mum is awaiting a mental health assessment, as she is desperately in need of help. To top it all, her washing machine has failed! Please can you help?
My client has been in supported housing for over three years after suffering with mental health issues. He has now been allocated a flat and is looking for work. My client has very little in the house and can't afford the items that he needs immediately, such as cutlery, crockery and three pairs of curtains. Please can you help with his fresh start?
