£0 remaining for an electric bill
A, who has three children, aged fourteen, seven and five, recently found out that she is pregnant, but has faced complications that have left her unable to walk for a while, resulting in two hospital stays. This situation has affected A's mental health, and she has also fallen behind on her electricity bill, adding to her stress. She would greatly benefit from assistance with her outstanding electricity bill, allowing her to save money for summer activities for the children, and gradually prepare for the new baby.
S has been through financial hardship recently, due to ongoing health issues which have stopped her from working. As a single parent, she lacks support and is having to make ends meet with limited income. S received a Debt Relief Order this year which has helped relieve some financial burden and stress. Her housing association is about to renovate her kitchen and she will be unable to have her old oven and hob refitted. This support will let S replace her oven and hob with second-hand equipment.
Our applicant is a refugee whose children have joined her through Family Reunion, and also has a young baby aged one. Mum has been placed in temporary accommodation by the council, but it is sparsely furnished. She would like some home items for her children. Specifically, her youngest child is crawling and learning to walk so mum would like a rug for them to learn to walk on. She would also like a desk and chair for the children to do their homework, and a wardrobe for the children's clothes.
This brilliant mum of three young children is doing everything to focus on her children and give them a safe space to thrive in. At the moment, she does not have the storage for any of their clothes and this is creating clutter, less space and added stress for the family. Providing a wardrobe will help alleviate the worry and help create a safe space for the family. Please can you help?
