Hello, I am a university student in the uk and I am currently faced with a rental payment of £2580 that I dont have the means to pay.
In brief summary of my situation- to provide context, last year I lived in my universities on-sight accommodation, which had twelve students sharing a kitchen and a bathroom, with our own private bedrooms. Three individuals I lived with that year, took it upon themselves to make every space as unlivable as humanly possible- I spent every single day of the nine months I lived there cleaning up other students fecal matter- urine and menstrual blood, because of my weakened immune system I was sick the entire duration of the year and struggled to attend classes, the rest of us in the flat contacted our student housing support staff every single day- we arranged meetings, we provided hundreds of emails of proof and nothing was done to help us.
It grew so terrible that my antidepressant dosage was doubled and I now have dangerously high blood pressure from the stress.
To avoid the same issues- I opted to live in a studio flat this year, its significantly more expensive but it allowed me the luxury of my own bathroom and my own kitchen that I can keep clean and maintain easily.
I went for a viewing after weeks of researching, booked my accommodation.
Its important to note that, at the time I booked my accommodation- the building was not finished yet. However we as future residents were told that the building would be fully finished by the end of july- in preparation for our early September move-in dates.
It is currently October and the building is still unfinished.
I was lucky enough that another student accommodation building was kind enough to house us- the issue being I am disabled and the temporary accommodation is too far for me to walk to the university for my classes- so I have been relying on public transport and paying to do so multiple times a day every day- which has stripped my already tight finances much further.
Ontop of this, I provide financial support for my parents, as my mum is also disabled with a spinal injury and cannot work, and my dads wages leave nothing for emergencies- of which we have had many recently.
I am rapidly loosing hope that I can navigate this situation, I cannot move back home and travel for my classes as I would be getting three hour train rides twice a day- which costs £70 at a minimum each way. If I loose this accommodation I will be forced to drop out of university and as I am in my second year and have received two years funding- I wouldn’t be able to claim funding again to return to university in the future, this is my only chance and I am rapidly facing the reality that I might not have a future, I am scared and I am utterly desperate.
This site is my final chance, anything anyone could provide would make such a massive impact- I would be eternally grateful, and I have every intention to pay any kindness I receive forwards, while I need a total sum of £2580 (equal to approximately $3400), a single penny would still be massively helpful, I am so sorry to be having to ask this of anyone here.
