Firstly, thank for reading this request. Our client D is a young mum of two, who has recently split from her children's father and moved into a new property with a local housing association (who sadly don't carpet their properties).

We're praying a generous donor will come to her rescue!

Whilst having been diagnosed with dementia R is determined to stay positive for his children. He and his partner rely on benefits and there is very little left for household items. We are supporting with debt advice and budgeting so moving forward they will be able to manage a little better.

Please can you help make life easier?

This applicant's partner left her with debt and no child maintenance, which has significantly impacted her mental health and left her struggling to cope. As a result, her home has become very cluttered, though she has been receiving support from her housing association, her church, a food pantry, and an animal charity who have helped with her cat's neutering and vaccinations. She has also received help to begin decluttering and make her home a safer environment for herself and her daughter. There are still a number of items that need to be removed, but she does not have the funds to arrange this. She is asking for help towards the cost of a removal van so that she can clear the remaining clutter and make a fresh start for herself and her daughter.
