£0 remaining for a bed and mattress
B, who was homeless, has just been given the keys to a new home. They are so happy; however, the flat is completely empty. We have applied for grants for most of the furniture, but this takes time. We want to try and help B find a bed and mattress in time for Christmas. We will order the bed from the British Heart Foundation. Please can you help?
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.
