This lady is having a tough time, living solely on benefits with two disabled children in a property which is not suitable for their needs. Thankfully, an opportunity has come up to move to a more appropriate house for them all, but finding the moving costs is a struggle. This money will pay for the local ‘man with a van’ to facilitate this for them.

D had an accident in September 2024 and has been unable to work since. Transitioning to Universal Credit has been a struggle and she has got behind with essential payments. Her mental and physical health has also suffered. D moved into an unfurnished flat earlier in the year and has not had any money left over to furnish her living room.
