£200 remaining for a bed, a mattress and bedding
We are supporting a family that recently fled domestic violence. There was then a fire in their temporary accommodation which destroyed much of their belongings and furniture. Mum and her son are both sleeping on the couch at the moment. This money will enable us to provide them with a new bed and mattress and all the necessary bedding. Any additional money remaining will be used to buy additional items lost in the fire.
R, a young, single mother with a small baby, is currently relying on basic benefit income through Universal Credit and is experiencing financial hardship. She has recently been housed and, although she has a fridge with a small freezer compartment, this is filled with milk for her young baby and mum has nowhere to store frozen food for herself. R would appreciate help to purchase a small freezer.
C has three children aged eleven years, eight years and eight months old. The eleven year old is autistic and awaiting a diagnosis to receive support. C, who has had thyroid cancer, has anxiety and mental health concerns. She receives Universal Credit which is not sufficient to cover basic costs. They are in one bedroom temporary accommodation, but will be moved to a property which is completely empty. The eleven year old needs a bed particularly urgently, given their additional needs, so we are seeking support for a bed and mattress for this child.
