£0 remaining for maternity and baby clothes
This expectant mother, who is due to have her first baby in February, is currently seeking Asylum in the UK and, due to very difficult circumstances, is living in a hostel with very limited funds. Mum-to-be has requested a Primark voucher as she has very few clothes for herself and, due to being pregnant, she is needing maternity sized clothes. She is also concerned that she won't have any clothes for her baby when he arrives.
S, who is pregnant and due to give birth in a few weeks, has sciatica, arthritis, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), anxiety and depression, impacting on her comfort, mobility and mental health. She is currently sleeping on a sofa with her eighteen month old disabled daughter, making it difficult to sleep. S has limited finances, due to rent shortfall being recovered from her benefit. She awaits the outcome of applications for Personal Independence Payment for herself and Disability Living Allowance for her daughter. £200 is urgently required for a bed and mattress.
