It is such a relief having a washing machine again, as laundry was such a difficult task to do for those who have been supporting me. Your support has brought much ease for me and those supporting me, and I am very grateful.

Firstly, thank you for reading this. N is a single person living alone in her own home. She rents it from a local housing association who do not provide carpets in their properties. N is currently working part-time but her income is low and she gets a little help from Universal Credit. She found the winter quite difficult as the concrete floors meant the flat was difficult to keep warm. We can provide her with free carpets, we're just praying a kind donor will help us with the fitting cost.

£200 needed for a living room carpet
We first got to know A through our overnight welcome centre a couple of years ago, when he was homeless. He has recently been given a tenancy and we’re keen to help him as he does it up. He has shown great initiative and sourced many items of furniture himself. It would be great for him to have a living room carpet to help with dampening the noise of his floors, increase warmth levels and improve the sense of homeliness in his new flat. Any help offered would be a great blessing to him.
