£0 remaining for a fridge freezer
L, who is originally from Taiwan, came to the UK with her English husband and four year old daughter. Within a year she found her self homeless as the marriage became abusive. After lengthy court involvement L now has equal access and is about to move into an unfurnished flat. Her local church, where she volunteers, has rallied round, but her wish is to have a decent second-hand fridge freezer so that she can prepare and store healthy home cooked food, however, her only income is Universal Credit.
S is on benefits and, as all her money goes on bills, she has no money left over to be able to buy a mattress. The current mattress is in really poor condition and S can feel the base of her bed, which has now given her a very painful back. Please can you help her to replace the double mattress?
