£185 needed for a double bed
N and her husband need a bed as theirs was broken when they had to move home. For the last six months they have been sleeping on sofa cushions on the floor and this has impacted their physical and mental health. N is in the process of applying for leave to remain, but does not yet have the right to work. Her husband is receiving Universal Credit and currently has limited capability for work. Having a proper bed to sleep in would help him to recover more quickly and return to work.

Ms J has recently moved to a new property after experiencing significant poor health due to black mould in her previous address.

A phone is essential for keeping in touch with The Home Office and others about his asylum application. Could you help him please?
