£0 remaining for a sofa
Acts 435's kindness has got this family (with a newborn and three small children) nearly back on their feet and they are so grateful. They had an infestation of bed bugs and the landlord was helpful in getting the house sprayed, but they were recommended to throw out all their wooden furniture, as it can harbour the bugs. Dad asked for a day off work to help mum with this and he lost his job. The school are working closely with the family to offer their support, and the last need is for a sofa.
B is recovering from past drug abuse and has moved to a new flat after his previous property was taken over by a drugs gang for growing cannabis. Everything he owned was destroyed and police advised that it was unsafe for him to return. B has moved into his new home with nothing and has no money until his Universal Credit payments are sorted out, early next month. He has nothing to equip his kitchen and would be grateful for help to buy a fridge freezer so that he can store fresh and frozen food.
C has five children and receives Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments, due to a brain condition that can affect her mobility, along with other debilitating symptoms. The local council has refitted her kitchen, but have removed her gas cooker which they deemed unsafe. This has left C with no means of cooking meals for her family. She would like to replace it with an electric cooker, but money is very tight and she cannot afford to pay for it herself. Your help would be much appreciated.
M has moved into her own property for the first time, but is struggling to furnish it as she has no furniture of her own. She is on Universal Credit which barely covers her daily living costs. Your support to buy a cooker would mean that M could cook and eat properly as she saves for other items that she needs, as well as reducing her expenditure by allowing her to cook and eat for herself more affordably.
