£55 remaining for installation of a gas oven
Mum is a single parent who has three girls, one with high health needs. The family is very isolated with no friends in the area and mum does not have positive support from family members. She deals with finances on her own and struggles with this at times. With a previous Acts 435 request, we were able to fund the cost of the cooker, but mum has requested help with the installation costs as she is unable to afford it. Please could you help this family? Thank you.
F was working until, unfortunately, he received a cancer diagnosis earlier this year. He moved into temporary accommodation, as he was unable to afford the rent after having to give up work. F has been offered a property with a social landlord and is in need of carpets throughout. The funding would go towards carpeting one room so that he can be in some comfort whilst his treatment is ongoing. F is awaiting a decision on a Personal Independence Payment claim submitted with MacMillan.
J, his wife and their two young children have sought asylum on humanitarian grounds after fleeing their country in South America. J and his wife are both professional individuals and have moved into a property with no furniture or furnishings. They are in need of blinds for three windows and curtains and rails for three windows in the bedrooms. They are receiving Universal Credit and have no other source of income, so purchasing such items and living is incredibly difficult in this current climate.
R has recently been awarded her own Housing Association property. She had been staying at her mother's home for over twelve months, following a No Fault eviction at her previous property. R did not have the space to store most of the larger items of furniture and is starting from scratch. She works part-time and does receive Universal Credit and Housing Benefit, but is still on a low income. R has been helped to obtain some furniture, but still needs two children's beds and mattresses.
