£0 remaining for a washing machine
I have just spoken to our client, who said she is already jumping for joy that her request is even being considered. She is a single parent with a 13 year old and is on Universal Credit and Child benefit. It is a struggle to budget for utilities, food and council tax and she currently washes by hand as the laundrette is an extra expense. She is definitely excited about the thought of having a washing machine and grateful for this chance to own one. Thank you.
Our client is a child who has recently arrived from Afghanistan to reunite with the rest of his family here in the UK. Their family is solely living off of the eldest brother's benefits and is currently struggling greatly with living expenses. They need help with essentials such as food and winter clothes (jackets, jumpers and shoes) which can be costly. Additionally, we will use a portion of these funds to top up their oyster card and provide them with vouchers to spend on other necessities.
C is a 43 year old gentleman with disabilities who is also battling to overcome addiction issues. He has recently been re-homed for a fresh start, however he has limited funds to start his new life. He really needs a bedding set including a duvet and cover, a pillow, pillowcase and a sheet. We will order the items for him with a view to helping with his fresh start.
K is a single mum with two boys under 10 years old, both with special needs. Her only income is benefits and she is unable to afford to buy winter school uniforms and pay her energy bills. Would you please help K so that she can buy some school jumpers, trousers & shoes to see her boys through the school year?
