£0 remaining for a cooker
P is a lady in her fifties who is living alone. She has recently left work, due to worsening epileptic seizures and mental health struggles. P has been without a cooker for a year and is unable to self fund, due to a delay in her benefits being assessed. She has been surviving on microwave meals, but is worried her unhealthy diet will effect her pre-existing medial conditions. The cost of these ready meals has meant that P has been choosing between eating and heating her home.
J is a single mum with a teenage son. She has been deemed to be not fit for work and receives Universal Credit and Employment Support Allowance. Mum recently had a break-in at her home and extensive damage was caused to her fridge freezer, rendering it unusable. J does not have insurance cover and cannot afford to replace it. With a growing son, your support in replacing her fridge freezer would make a massive difference to them, allowing them to shop and cook economically. Thank you.
L has three young children who share a bedroom. Currently, the children have no storage in their bedroom, so it is very difficult to keep their clothes tidy and clean. Mum would really like to be able to get some wardrobes and chests of drawers so that she can keep their room tidy. However, L is not currently able to work and her Universal Credit only just covers daily living costs, so she is not able to save towards anything.
M has just moved into a supported housing hostel, but it does not have a washing machine. He has very few possessions and no savings, and his income only just covers daily living expenses, so he can't afford to purchase a washing machine himself. Your help to get a replacement would mean that M could look after his clothes and keep them clean and fresh, also helping to build confidence in leaving home and socialising, knowing that he has clean clothes to wear.
