1. My dog saved my life, help me save him 
I'm a 25 year old single mother who has had Type 1 Diabetes since the age of 5. My daughter is 2 years old. Since my pregnancy I have lost my hypo symptoms which means I can lose conciousness before realising that there is a problem. As a result of this I took on a dog from a local rescue as it has been well documented that dogs can alert their diabetic owners to an impending hypo.
Almost 2 years later my Housing Association have decided to try to take me to court to force me to get rid of him (I own my flat so can't just move to new accommodation as I'm in negative equity). Removing Harley (my 2 year old Labrador) could result in serious injury or even loss of life for myself of my young daughter.
Currently he is not a registered assistance dog as there was a 3 year waiting list for a registered dog. I have spoken to the charity (Hypo Alert Dogs UK) who who will agree to assess him for training and my own trainer feels confident that he would be suitable for this however he first requires his Kennel club Good Citizen awards, something which, all told, will cost me in the region of £500 (needs some 1-2-1 lessons first to improve his manners on-lead).

2. Support the House Proud campaign
House Proud is about making the case for housing. A joint campaign from Inside Housing magazine and the Chartered Institute of Housing, its aim is to shout about housing’s crucial contribution to every aspect of social policy; to provide the stats, stories and case studies which prove beyond doubt that successful lives are founded on decent housing; and to present data which persuade whoever wins the keys to Number 10 later this year that cutting the housing budget is a foolhardy move certain to increase pressure on the vote-winning budgets they seek to preserve.
3. SHAC Housing should provide more washing machines and tumble dryers
I need a petition to be presented to our housing association to provide better launderette facilites and additional washing machines and dryers and to present a petition to our housing association.
