£190 remaining for a fridge freezer
Our client has been living in a house of multiple occupancy for six years. He is unable to work, due to an elbow repair and knee surgery. A planned hernia repair was deferred, due to heart condition. This client socialises little and his main external contact is with his twelve year old son, who lives with ex-wife and visits dad each school holiday. Anything left in the shared kitchen disappears. Dad is currently being helped by a financial advisor at Foodbank. A fridge freezer to replace his small fridge would give him more food space, perhaps encouraging him to mix more, and help his mental health.
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.
This refugee family from Afghanistan has been given accommodation in Leeds, following a successful application for leave to remain, but the house is empty of any appliances or furniture. As they are not yet working, the family asks for help with £200 to purchase a used fridge freezer and delivery. This would make it possible for them to not shop every day, and reduce the risk of illness, due to no proper storage. Please can you help them in their quest to settle well?
S, a single parent who is struggling with the cost of living, is unable to work, due to ill health. Her fridge broke a few months ago, leaving her unable to safely store food. Consequently, a lot of her food goes off and she is having to spend more money on ready meals, as she can’t store food. Any support in getting a new fridge would save S in food costs each week. We've supported her with emergency fuel top-ups and food parcels.
