J, who is in a family of three living in private rented and struggling financially, works nights and has to travel an hour to work. He must have clean clothes every single day as he works in a bread factory where personal hygiene is essential. His only source of drying is a Calor gas heater which they use with a maiden and move from room to room. The motor on the drum of the dryer cannot be repaired and has been condemned. The guarantee ran out just before Christmas.
