£0 remaining for a cooker
S has no cooker, and is struggling financially because Universal Credit and PIP (Personal Independence Payments) have stopped her money. She is diabetic, and needs a cooker to enable her to cook fresh, healthy meals for her diet- ready meals put her at risk of going into hospital. She comes to our café at church on a Thursday, where she can get a fresh meal for a reasonable price. She moved to Rochdale recently because she had to leave her last home because there was a drug problem. She left her belongings when she moved into a flat and is sleeping on the floor at the moment.
H is a single lady who has been offered a property, but unfortunately there was no furniture at all. H came here with some savings, but these are nearly gone and she is struggling to furnish her house and feed herself too. H is in urgent need of a fridge freezer, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers and a lamp for her house. She would appreciate any support.
K and her husband have recently moved to the UK from Pakistan. They are both currently not working and do not have access to public funds, but are seriously job hunting. They have two children, aged eight weeks and an eleven months old. K and her husband are currently surviving on limited savings, but are concerned that these are running out. They are renting a room from a private landlord and are in urgent need of a fridge freezer, washing machine and single bed. Your support is highly appreciated.
S, who is married with three children, has unfortunately broken his knee. He is off work and only receives Statutory Sick Pay which does not cover the household bills. Their fridge freezer has broken and, as they are unable to replace it, are having to buy fresh food everyday at a cost which they cannot afford. The family is finding it very difficult to ask for help, but has no option at this difficult time.
