Furniture / tech needed for DA survivor


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello all


A bit of an unusual request but I am now rebuilding my life after DA. After a few months of living in temporary accommodation whilst taking steps to protect my safety, I now have a new home of my own!


I've experienced tech abuse and so am looking for a Samsung S10 to swap with my current Samsung S10 if possible. It is in near perfect condition and on EE.

I am also after a new Macbook Air (I have an Air 2015 - again happy to swap mine once wiped) both have their boxes and all cables etc.


I don't have much furniture (or cash atm as not working due to anxiety) and have moved into an unfurnished property so would appreciate help if you have items you don't need. I need a king size mattress (memory foam or orthopaedic as I have a bad back). Also after a small dining table and a chest of drawers. Other bits like bin / cutlery divider for kitchen. Bin / toilet brush for bathroom would also be fab. Over door hangers for towels etc...


There is very little gov / financial support for women in my position so I am learning...if anyone knows of any charities that support women fleeing DA / DV please also let me know via private message.


Wishing you all the best and hoping you are all staying safe.


Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

If you can have a look at the Turn2Us website [www.turn2us.org.uk] - they not only have advice on accessing benefits but also grant-giving trusts who you can contact for assistance on a variety of levels. You do a search using filters i.e. location, health, children etc. As well as providing grants for a variety of purposes there is also other support available.


Also Acts 435 is a charity set up by the last Archbishop of York that provides small grants via crowdfunding. You would need to find the local advocate, often a church, and apply through them [https://acts435.org.uk/join/advocates?region=london].



Also, as you're changing your tech, I thought I'd add this Refuge link for more information & advice: https://refugetechsafety.org/

    • That site is currently being set up as a physio. A google search suggests units 1-2 is where Drop wine bar currently is.
    • Not being funny here but do you need to change your diet  for whatever reason or do you need someone to evaluate what you eat and what you should be eating. plenty of info on line regarding this and also on nhs website.    Or are you trying to find out what you are allergic or have a reaction to. Sure you are tech savy and can research and try. It isn’t rocket science!!         Look further down and there is your answer in Oru Centre - hop and skip away!!
    • Thanks, I will  contact her. From  the Instagram description I'm not sure it's what I'm after, but worth a conversation obviously!
    • Hello there... I have gotten to know, like and trust Crystal Mendes through a local group meet. up, and can vouch for her being very knowledgable, trained and qualified, however I have not used her company.   Would suggest getting in touch via instagram for a first point conversation.   https://www.instagram.com/livingenergynutrition/?hl=en-gb
