Mum is a single parent to her three children. Her middle child has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is becoming very difficult to manage in the home due to his disruptive outbursts. Mum has ended up having to change the bedrooms round to maintain the safety of the other two children which means she is needing furniture for the child with ASD. Due to mum being a single parent, she is struggling with finances, as there are four people in the home and she has very limited family support. Please could you help? Thank you.

K has been moved to our area by the police and Social Services after fleeing domestic violence with her four children. She had to leave very quickly and left most of her belongings behind. Mum has been moved to a council property and this is her fresh start. We are supporting with debt advice and we will be able to write off her debts so it`s a financial fresh start as well. K has no fridge freezer to store food in and cannot afford to buy one out of her benefits. Please could you help? Thank you!

B is forty five years of age and has two children who both suffer with severe autism and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Her eldest son is twenty five and can become quite violent, smashing items until they are totally destroyed. Last year he smashed B`s wardrobe and chest of drawers to pieces and she had to throw them away. He has since been on new medication which makes him much calmer and B feels it is safe to replace the wardrobe and drawers, but sadly she cannot afford them out of her benefits. Please could you help? Thank you!
