L receives Employment and Support Allowance and Personal Independence Payment due to ongoing health conditions. Last week her washing machine broke and she has no savings to replace it with. Obviously this is causing L much inconvenience and upset, and it would be great to replace her washer before the busy Christmas period.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200E, who is struggling on her low income to buy a washing machine, receives Universal Credit and her son receives Personal Independence Payment. Mum is a full-time carer for her son who has a brain injury and, due to his condition, she needs to wash his clothes and bedding daily. As the washer no longer drains and must be done manually, E finds this difficult to do physically. She is worried that the washer will completely fail, leaving her no way to wash her son's clothes, and no choice but to put her son in respite until she can get one.
