£0 remaining for a refurbished fridge freezer
R, who has just started volunteering at his local church, is a young adult with severe learning difficulties who recently lost his mum who was also his carer and 'rock'. He was taken advantage of by a local drug gang and eventually helped by Social Services and moved to Sussex for his own protection. R is in supported housing, but because of his strict dietary and medical requirements, he would value his own fridge in his room. He cannot afford the appliance, as he is on basic Universal Credit and awaiting a Personal Independence Payment assessment.
T, a single parent who also works as a nurse, is struggling with debt and trying to make ends meet, but has no recourse to public funds. In order to get to her shift on time in the morning, mum has to take a taxi journey of nine miles to work, as she is unable to drop off her young daughter at breakfast club before school early enough to be able to take a bus. Please would you help to support her as she tries to care for her child while finding ways to get herself back on her feet?
R lives with her partner and two children aged three and four. Her four year old has autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Mum is in receipt of Universal Credit and Child Benefit. Her chest freezer has broken; she goes shopping once a month in order to batch buy and the freezer means the food lasts longer. Due to her son's conditions, he is a picky eater and going shopping is difficult. We are requesting support for her to be able to replace her freezer.
