£200 needed for a washing machine
D is a single young man who has had a tragic life and was alienated from his family at an early age. He has moved around the country and has finally settled in Torbay, after many years of homelessness. He now has a permanent flat and is setting up at home. He had two strokes at age 21 and has had to have a heart monitor fitted. He is therefore unable to work due to the after affects of the strokes and is dependent on benefits.

£200 needed for a double bed and mattress
This lady has attended our drop in services for two years. She experiences severe anxiety and this has been exacerbated recently due to her rising bills. Her divan bed has become mouldy due to a recurring leaking issue from the flat above which has finally been resolved. She has asthma and the mould has already made this worse and the potential risks to her health are high. She is on Universal Credit and has no savings or family to help her out. Therefore we would like to get her a bed frame and mattress.
£200 needed for wardrobes
This lady is living in a small flat with her two young children. Her mental health is suffering as she struggles financially to support her family on her own. There is a lack of storage in the flat and due to this, concerns were shared by the family support practitioner about the clutter in the home. As she has no one else to turn to or any savings of her own, we would like to provide two wardrobes to ensure the home is safe and clutter free.
