£0 remaining for a vacuum cleaner
Mum is a single parent to seven children and currently has no access to public funds. She is really trying to make her home a nice home, not only for herself, but for her children. Mum's vacuum cleaner has recently broken and she can't afford another one. She would really benefit from this as it means she is able to keep on top of the household work. This could slowly help to improve the family's living conditions, feel more homely for all and increase their wellbeing.
These parents have three children, aged twelve, seventeen and twenty one. Mum is in the country on a five year work permit and working as a carer in Doncaster, fifteen days at a time. She is currently upgrading her training, so as to practice as a staff nurse here. The others are here as dependents. They are privately renting at £1,300 per month for a three bedroom semi, including bills. They are in need a sofa. Please help to get this family a sofa so that they can gather together comfortably talk.
D receives Carers Allowance and is only allowed to earn less than £150 a week. She struggles with age-related illnesses including slipped discs, and the person she cares for has chronic physical and mental illnesses. D's health has deteriorated and it has come to light that she has been sleeping in her armchair, as the springs on her mattress have gone and she cannot afford to replace the mattress. This is the price of a mattress in Argos which is rolled and ready to collect immediately.
This gentleman left the family home where his ex-partner lives with his young son, due a safeguarding issue. He stopped work to care for his son and lived with his parents in a limited space. They now have accommodation which is over ten miles away from his parents. Dad is on benefits, but has a lot of expenses, including traveling to and from his parents to set up their new home. His wider family are unable to help financially. Dad needs a freezer and with your kind donations we wish to help.
