K fled from domestic violence, leaving everything behind. She has been in temporary accommodation but has now been given her own flat, but it is completely empty. She has been able to get furniture second hand, but not any carpet. As she is on benefits and a tight budget she cannot see herself getting any carpet for some time. She would love to be able to make the main room a comfortable warm space by having a carpet. Any help you can give would be gratefully received.

Total needed £165My client is a single mum with three children under the age of eight. She was in temporary accommodation for two years, after leaving an abusive partner. In the last few months, mum has been allocated a home which was in a bit of a state. She doesn't have the money to buy a freezer, which would save her money in the long term. Please can you help?
