£195 remaining for a washing machine
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.
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, who has been living in temporary accommodation, has now secured a tenancy to move into, but it is unfurnished and he has no furniture or white goods. He has no savings and is on a low income which doesn't allow him to save towards much. Friends and family have helped with a few items, but M has been unable to get a washing machine and is struggling to keep his clothes clean. Your support to get a replacement machine will mean he can rely on being able to leave the house in clean clothes.
