Our help was needed today for a lady in her late 60s who has had to give up work as she has been diagnosed with kidney cancer. She also is suffering from advanced COPD. Since having given up work she now finds herself in a position where she is unable to cover her rental payments, despite receiving housing benefit. Our agents are now helping her to apply for social housing to reduce her monthly costs. At the moment she is just unable to cope and is concerned she needs money for energy costs for her home and fuel costs to allow her to get to her hospital appointments. We agreed to send her £100 to help her with these costs.
