£110 needed for a Fridge Freezer

Mr C has recently moved house and had to give 4 weeks’ notice on his current property. Therefore, he had to cover the full rent himself on the new social housing property for 4 weeks as Universal Credit will only pay for one property. He needed to move to this supported housing association's property, as it is better suited to his health conditions. He has ankylosis spondylitis and arthralgia of the knee. With all these costs he is unable to afford to purchase a fridge freezer for his new property, and would be grateful for your help.
