£0 remaining for a second-hand sofa
M is a single mum who is raising two children on her own. The youngest child, aged two, has health issues, resulting in him spending many days and nights in the hospital attached to ventilation machines. The eldest son is seven years old and has ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and is a very energetic boy due to this condition. Both children need full-on attention and care. M only has support from her sister and is extremely tired. The family has no sofa in the house and would love to be able to sit together to watch TV and cuddle each other.
Our client has been homeless for several months, which was a traumatic experience for him. A charity helped him to move into a flat, but he has no facilities there. He is sleeping on clothes on the floor, so a mattress would give him somewhere comfortable to sleep. Our client has no bedding so he would also really appreciate donations to help buy this. He has back problems, but hopes that an improvement in his living standards will enable him to look for a job.
A, who is forty eight year old, is married with three children, including a child with special needs. Although her husband is working, they have been struggling to repay debts incurred during the pandemic, and have no money to replace their washing machine which has broken down. A donation would be so helpful, especially as the youngest child has special needs and is not yet fully toilet trained.
This lady struggles with her mental health and has significant debts that we are supporting her with. She is studying at university to better her prospects. Previously homeless, she recently has moved into council accommodation and is making strides on her own. Having no family support and a low income, due to being a student, this lady is in need of white goods to help her get settled in her home, specifically a fridge freezer. This would help her quality of life greatly.
