A lady in her late 50’s is at risk of losing her home because she is struggling to keep it clean and tidy. Several years ago she suffered a stroke which left her with intermittent weakness in one of her arms and her left-hand side. Her landlord is proposing to seek possession of her home because she is not taking care of it. They are though providing her with cleaning materials and a perching stool to help her. She is unable though to afford a vacuum cleaner, which would help her stay on top of the cleaning. We agreed to send her £80 so she can buy a lightweight machine that she will be able to use.
