Hi I'm Pam and the picture is of my dog Lola.

She is laying on the back seat of my car. This has been her bed whilst I sleep in my drivers seat. We have been eating and sleeping in the car (micra) since April. I am 56 and Lola is 10.

I have Chronic Kidney Disease, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia and because I can't sleep laying flat, Oedema.

I don't drink, smoke or take drugs.

I escaped a narcissistic partner in January. Over the next couple of months my tenancy ended, lost my job and became homeless. Its been horrendous.

Luckily things are changing. The Council have put us into a Travelodge whilst they organise a permanent home.

This is great, however all of my furniture etc is in storage. I don't have any money to pay for a removal company to transfer it all to my new home!

I also need a couple of essentials - bed frame, wardrobes and washing machine which will be second hand.

Please help with whatever you can spare. The Council cannot help. I have no relatives to ask and due to my health issues I can't return to work for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for reading.
