£200 needed for vinyl floor fitting
This lady and her two daughters have lived in a one bedroom flat for almost two years. They have now been given a two bedroom flat, however, there is no flooring at the new place and they do not have the means to buy any, as the girls are in college and mum is working part-time. She always pays her bills, even going without in order to do so. We have been able to source the flooring for free, but need help with the cost of fitting. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
