£110 needed for a carpet

This lady has suffered significant trauma and abuse and has very poor mental health. She lives in social housing and experienced an issue with bathroom plumbing which has meant her lounge flooded whilst she was in hospital, ruining her lounge decor and carpet. She has been living with a concrete floor for two years but recently keeps getting ill and the heating doesn’t work enough to make it warm. She is embarrassed to have friends round, so is becoming more isolated she is not well enough to work. Your support to help her buy a carpet would make a huge difference.

£90 needed for a Debt Relief Order

C got into debt several years ago when mistakes were made with her benefits. While the errors were not her fault, the deductions from her benefits to repay this amount are so high that after her rent is paid she is only left with £190 a month. This needs to cover all bills, food, etc. As a result she is barely eating and relying on the food bank. A Debt Relief Order would stop these deductions, so that she has enough to buy basic food and essentials but she needs £90 for the fee.
