£200 remaining for a reinforced bed
W works as chef in a local restaurant. His son is struggling with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) which involves some very challenging involuntary and impulsive outbursts of destructive behaviour. A recent outburst resulted in the destruction of his bed. A mental health nurse has advised that he needs a specialist reinforced bed costing £315. However, the full cost is beyond W’s means, as he is already struggling with other bills. Please can you help towards the cost to avoid this young lad having to sleep on the floor?
This client of the Sue Lambert Trust has a bedbug infestation after purchasing a second-hand bed and mattress. She is feeling really distressed, as she is covered in bites which have become infected. This client already suffers with poor mental health, which is being exacerbated by this situation. She cannot afford to pay for the professional pest control treatment, as she is on a ten hour working contract with a very low income. This client will also need to replace her quilt and appreciates any support offered.
This woman, who was referred to us by the Social Prescriber, was forced to move from her flat, due to severe abuse and threatening behaviour from neighbours, which escalated to the point that the police became involved. In addition to this trauma, this woman suffers from multiple physical health problems, including spinal cauda equina. The only piece of furniture she was able to take with her is a fridge. We urgently request your assistance with a washing machine, including delivery and installation.
V and her teenage daughter have just moved into a new property and they have no cooker. Mum lives just on Universal Credit and is struggling to make ends meet. She doesn't have sufficient funds to purchase a cooker to allow them to make meals. V would really appreciate your support in purchasing a cooker. Many thanks
