£130 needed for a fridge freezer

C is a thirty four year old single lady with significant physical (only a quarter lung function following pneumonia) and mental health needs. As a result of this, she found herself homeless and spent some time in a homeless hostel. C has engaged with support services and recently secured her own flat which she is making into a comfortable home for herself. This is a difficult time, due to her limited income of benefits, and C desperately needs a fridge freezer to help maximise her food budget and eat healthily.

We are encouraging him to gain support from Macmillan for emotional help and advice around finances etc. He would like a hoover, saucepan and TV for his flat while his finances are getting organised.

£150 needed for a bed frame

This lady is due to have major surgery. She does not have a bed and cannot afford one, so has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor. This will not be suitable when she is discharged from hospital and her recovery time could be as long as six weeks. She is worried about the impact of her operation on her family. Supporting her with something practical allows her to keep her focus on her children, reminds her she is worth caring for, and enables a safe recovery.
