J, 53 years old, is struggling financially and emotionally, living alone on Universal Credit due to severe kidney, hearing and mental health conditions. Council tax debt and enforcement has caused significant anxiety. Her current fridge is old and has no freezer compartment, making it difficult to store affordable food safely. A freezer would make a huge difference to her daily life, helping her manage food costs, support her health, and bring stability and dignity during a difficult time.

C is in severe financial hardship and relies only on Universal Credit. She has no fridge freezer, so buys food daily, increasing costs. This is affecting her well being and leaving her feeling low.

A fridge would reduce expenses and help her sustain her income and boost her health and well being.

Firstly, thank you for reading this request. J has recently left a long term abusive relationship. She has been rehoused but is having to start again almost from scratch.

J wants to make this her forever home and is desperate for carpets. We can provide this free of charge if a kind donor will help with the fitting costs.
