Every night Stacey had to sleep on the floor
Margaret has been looking after Stacey, her grandaughter, since Stacey's mum died shortly after she was born.
Margaret is doing all she can to be a mother to her grandaughter but she is disabled and finds it difficult to get about. Margaret can't work and the family survive on disability and child benefits.
Stacey's bed was broken so she was sleeping on the floor as Margaret couldn't afford to buy a new one.
So we bought a bed and bedding, just £165 made a difference.
