£0 remaining for a washing machine
My client is a single mum with a very young child whose partner walked out on her and left her with debts. Her washing machine is fifteen years old and has just broken, and she doesn't have any money to buy a new one. Mum has seen a replacement for £270 and her mum has said that she will pay the £70 if she can get the rest. Please can you help?
Having served eighteen months in an open prison, this man was released, only to find himself homeless for two months before a local social housing company secured him a flat. He has literally had to start from scratch to equip it, is making good progress, and pacing the expenditure well. However, our client is finding the £16 charge to wash and dry his clothes at the launderette too great a hit to his small Universal Credit income. He would love his own washing machine instead. Can you help him, please?
This lady has fled domestic abuse and has been living in temporary accommodation with her children, one of whom is a baby. They have now moved to a new home and mum had been sleeping on the floor as there was no bed. She needs a mattress to go on her double divan bed. The oldest child often wakes and needs a reassuring cuddle with mum at night, due to the past trauma. Mum is on benefits and cannot afford to buy a mattress. She was so grateful that she was going to have a bed at last.
This lady, who has fled domestic abuse, was in temporary accommodation with her children, one of whom is a baby. The baby was born prematurely and still needs extra help at home. Bedding and clothes need very frequent washing for all the family. The old tumble drier broke down and there is no money to replace it. Mum is on benefits and struggles with bills. There is little space in the flat to dry laundry and in safety, so a tumble drier is vital to this family. Please will you help them?
