£140 remaining for double orthopaedic mattress and pillow
SE, a past domestic violence victim, is registered disabled and suffers from Meniere's Disease, low moods and depression. She struggles to leave the house some days, and is on anti-sickness tablets daily to help with her extreme vertigo. SE is single and has a little job at a café, doing light duties, but struggles to go in some weeks. Her boss is understanding. SE has been advised that a thick, firm, orthopaedic mattress will help her condition and a thicker pillow will help with her vertigo.
M is a single mother who is being rehoused, due to her ex-partner stalking and harassing her and her nine year old son. They are being placed in another town in an unfurnished flat. Although M can bring some furniture and appliances with her, the flat has no carpets at all and, as she is on benefits, she cannot afford any floor coverings. With your generosity, we would love to be able to afford to buy and install a carpet for her son's room.
K, a single mum of three children aged three, nine and eleven, is a type one diabetic and needs to keep insulin in a fridge. Her fridge freezer has broken so she is unable to store her medication safely or food for herself and her children. K receives Universal Credit and has no savings. We are requesting a fridge freezer for health and food needs.
Our client has just been moved into permanent accommodation, from temporary premises, after a period of homelessness. The home he has moved into has no fridge freezer, and his Universal Credit claim has not yet been processed. Please can you help?
