A single, isolated mum is a carer for both of her two children. Mum had suffered significant nerve damage after a traumatic labour and is in need of a small double mattress as her current one is old and doesn't provide the proper back support she needs. This mattress will enable mum to get the rest she needs to be able to continue caring for her family's needs. Although mum is in employment, her finances are stretched with the care needs of her family. Please could you help? Thank you.

M lives with her husband; they both have health problems and are living on benefits. They receive Universal Credit and she gets Personal Independence Payments.

R has cancer and had to go to Manchester for Proton Beam Laser Therapy. A previous request to Acts 435 paid for his travel to and from Birmingham. Sadly, the treatment did not work and the tumour has grown, invading his spinal column and causing his skin to die leaving craters on his body. He receives palliative care and has gone home to be with his daughter and granddaughter. He needs a memory foam mattress to cope with the state of his skin and as he can only lie on his right hand side.
