St. Mary

V's husband passed away a few years ago and she struggled to stay in the property. She broke her elbow a year ago and because she couldn't live on her own, stayed with a friend, but now her elbow is healing, she has to move out. V, who now has a flat, has just a television that a friend gave her. She desperately needs a double bed to start her off, as she has three crumbling discs and arthritis, and her elbow is still healing. V only receives disability benefits and has no spare income for the bed. Please could we help her?

L has been homeless since February, having had to leave his home town after been attacked. He has just signed a tenancy, but only has a chair to his name. L has just started receiving benefits so it will take some time to build finances up and he has a lot of basic household items to buy. L has been travelling two miles to the centre to wash his clothes, but most of the time the washers are full and he can't do his washing. He really needs a washing machine to be able to manage, going forward. Please can we help?

T is recovering from a brain injury and, as a result, has had to move accommodation in order to downsize. She only has basic benefits at the moment and her independence has really been impacted through the injury. T has no carpet in the property and it would mean the world to her if she could have some carpet in the living room and the bedroom, as the weather has suddenly got so cold. We can use a local provider to carpet both rooms for £200. Please could you help?
