Financial Hardship Help
My dog is very poorly and requires urgent surgery
I am a single parent and already working two jobs.
Please help!!!
it’s not just our dog- she is an equal member of our little family.
I will post all receipts of the treatments if needed.
If anyone out there can help-please do.
we will be so much grateful for any support!!!
thank you!!!!
I really need temporary financial assistance, urgently. I don’t know what to do anymore as I have no support from family or friends. My bank balance has gone into negative figures as of yesterday (-£6.20) and I have bills to pay at the end of the month. The bank are saying that if I don’t get the balance back into positive figures, they will incur further costs – which I simply can not afford.
I didn’t realise how little money I had until my card declined yesterday when trying to buy fuel at a local petrol station. I owe them £20, and have one day to give it to them (they allowed me to take the fuel, provided I pay them back). I have borrowed £10 from my friend, and luckily he’s not asking for it back, but I feel obliged to do so.
My overdraft agreement doesn’t cover it, and I can’t apply to extend my overdraft in time; and I can’t withdraw any cash from an ATM. All I’m asking for is £50 to cover food and fuel costs for next week, and I will never beg like this again. I don’t get paid until the end of the month, when my bills are due, and I’m worried I could end up homeless; I’ve never begged for money before, and feel awful for doing it. I haven’t eaten properly in two days, because I’ve had to feed my dog. This really is my last resort – I will never resort to shop lifting.
My parents are no support, I’ve tried asking, and they just shut me out. I don’t really have a relationship them anyway (I’m in my mid-20’s, live alone, but I do have a dog, who also needs to be fed – luckily he will be ok for the next day or so, but his food is starting to run out, so I’ve been giving him minced beef from the fridge).
Again, I’m so sorry that I have to do this. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve been worrying myself to death, have barely slept, with no idea what to do. As I’ve said, e-begging is my last chance at sorting this out. All I’m asking for is £50, it will get me through the next few days. Thank you so much.

Hello there, I hope whoever is reading this is well and happy new year to you.
I am a 40 something female and cannot believe I have been searching for help in this manner. I have been self sufficient for many years but over the past 9 years my life seems to be getting tougher.
I lost a little girl in 2014 and since then my life has never been the same, I have struggled with depression and anxiety since and the bouts are more intense and lasting longer as time goes on.
I live in a small town in scotland and dont really know anyone, I have moved away from all that I knew due to an abusive ex partner so I am pretty much alone. I have very little family left and I am now faced with financial problems including big debts due to breaking down after I lost my little girl.
I am struggling to hold a job down as my depression gets worse. I have more bad days than good and I have come to the realisation that I need professional help which is not easy to get with the way the world is.
The family I am close to live nearly an hour away from me, I would like to find away to move closer to my family so I have support and I am not alone. When I am with my family I feel so much better but know there is still a lot of work to be done mentally. I think I have a deeper mental health issue and want to get help for this. which involves getting medical assessments and I do not want to wait over a year for this, I need to do something about it before its too late.
I want to get better, I do not know where to turn anymore. Getting help from the national health service is so hard right where I live at the best of times but the way the world is now its even harder.
I promised myself I would get help and improve my life this year, I want to get to the end of this year with a brighter future, perspective and a healthier mind.
I never saw my life going this way, never. But it has and I need help. I have never been a person that shy’s away from hard work, iv worked all my life in some of the worst jobs, im a health care worker at the moment and have worked for the nhs for a couple years but due to my own mental health everything has gone down hill. I have always provided for myself and helped others. but I am stuck now and have no way of help.
I am asking for help to assist in getting a fresh start beside my family and help to get the support I need for my mental health. I crave to feel different in my head, If I had the money I would go straight to a private doctor and get assessed. I would pay for help if I could.
I dont know if this web site works but if it does and you are reading my story I appreciate your time and if you help you are an amazing person, I am happy to share my future progress with you throughout my journey if I can get your assistance.
thank you for reading and if you are a person in the same place as me right now then I wish you the help you need. Sometimes we need help.
Hello everyone, I am a man born and raised in a poor country.
I’m from Romania and here I have lived until the age of 20 together with my parents and my other 5 younger brothers and sisters. My parents always tried they’re best to give us everything they didn’t have when they were our age and I really love and appreciate them for that. My dad was the only one working and earning the money in the house being self-employed as a mechanic for chainsaws, lawnmowers, bikes and other tools with small mottors in an open environment where when it was winter your body would freeze if staying too long there. Now after the years every inch of his body hurts cause of that damn work.
My mom has been every day taking care of us. But because of so many births she has problems with the health as well one being appendicitis. And even tho she should rest more and rely on us the kids more she still does so much then should. I’m so afraid that I soon will loose these blessed parents without having done anything for them.
And because of how much have they done for me I also wanted to do something in return for that I went and left them to have 1 less kid to worry about. And I though maybe I could help them by earning some money and save it to send thandas well to help them. Yet I am single and I live in rent faraway from my dear ones living paycheck by paycheck hardly able save anything at all. Fortunately I don’t drink or smoke so I earnmanage to earn something to put away but is very little and it takes too slow and I really need money fast right now to make my first ever present to my parent and buy them a house.
We were living (the reason I say “we were” is because now only they live there) in a house rented by the government not a physical person, and recently the government made a project in the are where that house is, including some other houses around to be demolished and make a new big supermarket. And they are to be moved in new places, most likely some flats but is not entirely decided where they gonna be moved.
I never wanted as madly as right now to earn money for a house as much as now, because I really want to see them living peacefully without worrying to be kicked out and them to be able to see all the kids big enough to get on in they’re life with a smile. It would be a wish come true for them to own they’re own house they could have never afford to buy one.
I would appreciate even a little so I can save to do this surprise for my dear parents.

Hello, to anyone who is willing to read this.
My name is Beth, I am 25. I live in the UK which, I’m sure like everywhere else, has been hit with a cost of living crisis. Unfortunately, I do not work at the moment due to my mental health. I have suffered from Depression and PTSD for the past 10 years. This stops me from working, as I struggle with public spaces and being around strangers for too long.
I also suffer from being over weight, this is due to my mental health. I used to eat, in an attempt to be bigger, so then people would not look at me with “want”. The bigger I was, the more unapproachable I became. That made me feel safe. Now, I am changing that. I am starting to slowly lose weight and do better at eating healthier. I have lost 1 stone in a couple month’s, so I’m trying hard to reverse this damage I’ve caused myself.
The problem is, I can’t afford much. I’m on ESA and that goes to my bills and leaves me only a little to feed myself. I have a treadmill that I can’t afford to use daily which makes my progress slow.
I’d really appreciate any help, any at all. Even just £1 would help me to either buy some beans and bread or turn my treadmill on for an “hours walk”. I can’t go walking outside yet, as I struggle too much with outside. I’m very hopeful that when I’ve lost 5 pounds, I’ll be ready to get my life back on track and feel a little bit more confident to go out, work on my anxiety and depression. Then, I can battle my fear of public transport and be able to get a good mental health team on my side, so I can start to work.
So again, what I’m asking for is, help with financial things. I can just about pay my rent, a select amount of bills and dog food. I don’t use a lot of water and never have the heating on to avoid gas usage. I only let the hot water turn on once a week. I could use some help affording to pay the electric bill as it’s constantly rising, so I can use my treadmill to lose weight, plug my freezer in again, hopefully be able to heat my home on the next extreme cold day, afford food and essentials.
Thank you, so much for reading. Whether you want to help or not, that’s okay! Have a very happy new year and I wish everyone a good health.

Hi internet, I need help.
I don’t know where this post is going to go in terms of context, but I will try my best to post it in the most appropriate corners of this community in hopes of finding the right resources, advice and help.
I’ll try to give a few highlights of my life throughout these ramblings, and I appreciate anyone that goes as far as reading this post whole, let alone reaching out with their piece of advice and help. Please excuse anything that might sound like insight into the mind of a madman, but I think I just about got over my first-ever panic attack.
I was born in eastern Europe and my parents divorced soon after. I used to see my father, but that quickly faded away into memories as he began his new family. My mother met another man and the two quickly brought my unmarried sister into the world. Around 2006 at the ripe age of 10, I was hauled 2000 miles away from my motherland into England with the promise of a better life. And life was good, for a couple of years at least, until yet another parent was taken away from me at the whim of lust. My mother ended up leaving my stepfather, completely turning her back on the whole family, and leaving the country to start a new one. This left me with a stranger of a father figure.
I was 17 while diving deep into education when that happened, and safe to say the family situation did not help things. I fell behind, I started missing school, and I lacked guidance. My stepfather was by no means a bad man, but he was ill-fit to be a parent by himself. He kept a roof over my head as best he could while earning in above-the-line minimum-pay jobs, kept me fed, and supported me as much as was within his reach. I didn’t get far in life since then, failing miserably at every turn. My higher education got nowhere, and I was forced to take up work to help support a crumbling household and myself as a young adult entering my 20s.
Since 2015, I have been working a dead-end customer service job for an online retailer. I started becoming independent as much as possible, but the burden of finances quickly fell upon me as my stepfather lost his job right before the pandemic towards the end of 2019. Debts started to spiral out of control, and money was never really a topic that was discussed openly around the house. I never felt comfortable talking about it either. I just did what I could to help, while making uninformed and uneducated decisions as a 20-something-year-old. I took on loans and credit cards. All sorts of things dangerously accessible.
My stepdad has since then been in and out of work as a self-employed labourer. His inability to keep a steady income means variable trouble month on month, and with the addition of my sister and her lousy boyfriend, I’m struggling to make ends meet month to month while supporting my make-believe family. To put it into perspective, I have just about £100 left to my name with over 2 weeks to go until payday. I have not made a single lavish purchase, aside from a £20 secret Santa gift. Going without eating, or worrying about what will keep the lights on is a constant worry. I’ve been wearing the same clothes over the last 2-3 years, damn it.
I’m in no position to decline. I have nowhere to go. I have no immediate family around me, and everyone is essentially a stranger from a family that isn’t entirely mine. I lack trusted friends that I could rely on, the industry of my employment is failing due to the current financial climate, and I don’t know how much longer I can go at this pace while keeping everyone around me happy AND still expect to make something out of my life in the next few years.
An added stress is the fact that my sister, who also lacked the same kind of life education as me growing up, is pregnant. Again, after losing her previous pregnancy at 7 months, which only took further financial tolls on me and my stepdad. She’s been in and out of work and failed at trying to secure a place with her boyfriend. They’re currently staying with us, leeching off of my income. And again, I’m in no position to refuse. I lack the emotional resilience to raise my concerns and not have them spiral into incessant arguments, which I know will happen to resolve themselves not in my favour and potentially with me on the streets.
I tried to look into renting a place of my own, and even though my budget would easily stretch across rent, all other bills, repaying my debts and supporting myself instead of a family of 4, I have been declined on account of my poor credit history and no potential guarantor to sign my lease.
After nearly 27 years, I finally feel like I’ve been dealt a bad hand in life. I feel like all my burdens that don’t feel like my own are crushing me into a tiny room with no escape.
My mental health has been deteriorating significantly, and so has my work performance as a result of it. This spells nothing good in a performance-driven role, and despite many attempts at getting myself together I can’t help but think of my own problems when I’m meant to be addressing someone else’s. I’ve seen many people struggle with their health and well-being in my department, they didn’t stick around for long.
I’m hoping to secure some sort of a career as an LGV driver, but the requirements for such a shift are expensive, nearing £3-4k in training costs. I enjoy driving, I’m a sensible driver, and nothing is holding me back from disappearing for days at a time. The only support available from the government for such is through unemployment, and I can’t risk throwing my current job away to achieve this. There are also very few logistics companies stationed in my area that could offer apprenticeship training, trust me I’ve been looking. Unfortunately, those sort of savings are way out of my reach for a long time, at this rate, and with these kinds of rising costs of living.
My debts, which I currently repay through a debt management plan at a semi-steady rate with varying repayments depending on my budget sit at around £2880. Fixing those mistakes will take years to come, which will no doubt bite me in the ass more than once along the way.
The one thing I would like to do before I haul ass out of this hell is to help my stepdad clear his debts, which sit at around the same amount as my own, if not more. Unfortunately, the exact amount is beyond me, as I said the topic of money is a hard one to approach. It’s the least I can do for someone that kept a roof over my head for the last 10 years, despite it being at my heavy expense for a part of it.
There is a number of things I wish to change in my life, and they all stem from the same root of all problems. I’m in the process of seeking some psychological assistance to figure out what’s going on up there, alongside wrangling my health into shape.
I’m not sure what to expect from this wall of text, but I’ll appreciate all the help I can get, whether it be advice, donations, or just some good luck wishes. Hell, even if you do donate and wish to see the money make it through to my woes, I’d be happy to provide proof and verify. If someone wishes to reach out directly, please PM.

The Company’s procedure was wrong and handled badly.
My Temporary booking was confirmed by the Agency the week before Covid-19 Lockdown in the UK. I had just been assigned to Temporary work and Training.
I missed the first week of Training with the Company because I was constantly vomiting, not realising that I had Covid-19, I thought my hay fever was affecting me, since I suffer with hay fever from February to September every year, but I soon realise what I was suffering from was no ordinary sickness. I suffered with hay fever since I was 11 years old.
I was diagnosed with Diabetes just after I got back from my brother’s funeral in America
in February 2019.
I was prescribed Metformin plus other medications for Diabetes, like Sitagliptin, Gliclazide and also Hypertension and Statin Tablets, plus other medications like Mirabegron for incontinence, plus others. Altogether, I was taking 13 Tablets every day.
I was working from home during this time. Because it was the early days of the pandemic, we didn’t know enough about Covid-19 yet. I didn’t realise that I had the coronavirus back in March 2020, however, I noticed I had lost my sense of taste and smell and kept vomiting for the whole of that week.
The previous week I was chopping up some onions prior to 23 March 2020 and I could not smell the onions. Then while eating a tuna sandwich, I was chewing, but it was like eating cardboard. There was no taste at all. I had to throw it away.
My body felt as though I’d been run over by a bus. I was in pain all over. My torso felt like rubber. That was round about the time when people were blaming 5G. We were told not to visit the doctors or hospital, so I stayed home.
I had to keep a bowl on my bed next to my pillow, because every time I lifted my head up off the pillow, the room was spinning, and I would start to vomit constantly. I vomited every day for one whole week. My next-door neighbour could hear me vomiting. She was kind enough to buy me some soup and leave it outside my front door, when she realised, I was very poorly. By the end of the same week, I had to ring my doctor and ask for some emergency anti-sickness tablets to stop the vomiting.
When the tablets arrived, the first 2 tabs I took, stopped the vomiting, but I was still poorly and very ill, even though I resumed work on the laptop at home. 3 weeks later I lost the job.
That same week 23 March 2020 I was supposed to be attending Training at the Firm (online). I had just got a Temporary Job with, (online working from Home), but obviously I could not attend because I was very sick. My close friend phoned me nearly every day to see how I was, and she said Jeez, you sound very ill, maybe you’ve got Covid-19, so I said “No, I don’t think so”. Then she said, “I’ve never heard your voice sounding like that before”.
I was extremely tired and fatigued. I did not have a Fever nor a Temperature, but I was very weak.
I kept listening to the news whilst laying down and it seems like everyone reacted to Covid-19 differently.
Everyone has different symptoms. I was extremely ill. Had I known I was suffering from Covid-19, I would not have resumed work on 30th March 2020 (albeit working from Home). I was still very poorly and unable to concentrate. I had brain fog and didn’t even know it. My skin had changed colour, I had gigantic goose pimples, which I still have to this day.
I was unable to open a bottle, because both my thumbs were extremely painful because of Covid-19.
My fingers were swollen. My eyesight was also impaired because of the virus. I have Long Covid now.
I was confused. I got up to go to the bathroom one morning and instead of turning right, I turned left and went outside my front door bare foot. I then caught myself and realised that I was not where I wanted to be, so I quickly went back inside and went to the bathroom.
My friend rang me later on to see if I was ok and said to me “it sounds like you have COVID-19, but I told her I didn’t have a fever, nor temperature, so how could it possibly be Covid-19?
I was obviously still extremely ill, but I was determined that I did not and would not go into hospital. If I did, then I would not come out alive, because too many people were dying in the hospital at the time. I’m not knocking the hospitals nor staff, just that the infection was high and spreading like wildfire.
It was weeks after lockdown, that it was announced on the news that if someone has Diabetes, they’re in the high-risk category.
Covid 19 really wreaks havoc on the body, because in July 2020 I had to go to the hospital for a scan (had a constant pain down the right side of my head and in my neck for nearly 4 weeks), but after the scan, the Consultant at the hospital said they didn’t find anything suspicious but told me that I may need to see a chiropractor.
One lady on TV said she is in her 9th week of contracting the virus and she is still recovering.
It definitely affects your cognitive side of things, I found it difficult and very hard to focus and concentrate. My eyesight had also altered because of Covid-19.
I was off sick from 23 March 2020 to 29 March 2020 and resumed work on 30 March 2020 and still had Covid-19 and trying to recover. The next thing I knew, I got a phone call from the Agency telling me that the Manager is pulling me off the assignment. By now I was 3 weeks working for the company. Who gets laid off for having Covid-19 or recovering from it? If it was Covid-19, I didn’t think anybody can recover from Covid-19 in one week.
My Agency rang me on 13th April and told me that the Company is pulling me off the job. I was so ill at the time, I forgot to ask them why?
It’s a very serious disease that has killed many thousands of people. The government is quite strict about this Covid-19.
At first, I thought it was my hay fever that made me so ill. I really struggled to type and concentrate.
All my fingers were completely swollen. Even my skin had changed colour and goose pimples were massive on my arms, but yet I wasn’t feeling cold!! How strange?
On certain parts of my body my skin was peeling like fish scales. I got frightened because I didn’t know what was happening to my body. I just didn’t know what was happening to me. It was on the news every day, that if you have Covid-19 or flu-like symptoms, DO NOT ATTEND THE SURGERY OR HOSPITAL. I had flu-like symptoms, so I stayed home.
Being a Diabetic as well with Hypertension and High Cholesterol (and being an elderly person in my mid 60s), I’m obviously in the vulnerable category.
When I had a Covid-19 Test in August 2020, the Consultant told me I had Covid-19 because I have the antibodies now.
The Prime Minister had Covid-19 and then he needed a few extra weeks to recover from it.
The thing is, I’ve been following the guidelines of washing hands etc, but I must have picked up the virus in the supermarket or on the bus a few days before Lockdown. I started working for this particular company (CMS_UK, a law firm) on 23rd March 2020 and on 24th March 2020 I started vomiting violently.
The day the Lockdown started 23rd March 2020 in the UK, which was the very same day I started working from home for the same company. That was also the same day the equipment from the Company was delivered to me at home.
My Question is this: Can a Company sack someone because they were suffering/Recovering from Covid-19 and could not carry out their duties because they were extremely ill with the virus?
No Duty of Care seemed to have been adhered to by the Company, where I was concerned. I was having trouble logging on anyway, apart from still being extremely unwell, delirious and my cognitive thinking was severely out of kilter.
On the two occasions I rang both the Agency and the firm, there was no reply. I did call back again later but got no reply from either.
The Agency phoned me on 13th April and told me that the Manager is pulling me off the job and also there is not enough work. “Not enough Work” was a lie, because I found out that he replaced me with 2 new individuals after I was sacked (even though I was a Temporary Worker).
I felt I did not have any support whilst I was sick. The sickness was bad enough which caused me great anxiety and confusion.
Being told that I was sacked made matters worse for me, my bills have all mounted up due to no income for quite a number of weeks now being stopped. This has thrown me into debt, in the middle of a pandemic. How can an employer sack an employee just because the employee because I had flu-like symptoms which turned out to be Covid-19? If I was doing something wrong or illegal, I could understand, why was there no disciplinary or Warning? nothing? The Manager failed to discuss any shortcomings with me (if there was any). He just was not interested in my wellbeing. This was in the middle of a pandemic; how can you not take the virus serious when so many people were dying from it every day? It was all over the news on a daily basis and was happening all over the world. I was lucky to still be alive. Many people died.
Obviously, the Manager was annoyed that I could not attend the Training, but he failed to communicate with me, instead, he sneakily phoned the Agency behind my back and asked them to pull me off the job. No one works harder than me. I even volunteered to stay late and help out instead of finishing at the exact time when my shift ends.
I was suffering from Covid-19 right in the middle of a Pandemic when the whole country was in Lockdown. Having the virus without realising I had it, affected my mental health and clarity severely. I was highly stressed at the time, as I did not even know what was happening to me.
When I kept ringing the Agency, they either would not answer the phone, or they were “in a meeting”. I felt my wellbeing was overlooked and I was treated unfairly as a Temporary worker due to Coronavirus illness. The Manager did not seem to care about how ill I was or wasn’t. I missed the very first week of training because I was constantly vomiting. I could not eat or drink any fluids. I felt as if I was at death’s door, no fluids or food would stay down. My skin even changed colour and started peeling whilst I was ill in 2020.
I don’t even know where I caught the Covid-19 virus from.
I really enjoyed my job as a DP (Document Production) operator (also known as a Document Specialist Producer). I worked as a DP operator nearly all my life I was with one firm for a few years until my department was made redundant in 2019. CMS has taken all that away from me. I feel that the Manager needs more training in communication skills and people skills. How could he not know that we were in a pandemic to show some empathy towards me. It’s alright knowing how to produce, manipulate, amend and format documents etc, but as a manager, what is the point if you have no people skills or communication skills and fail to correspond properly with your worker(s).
Now I stand to lose my home, even though I have been looking for work ever since, but unfortunately nothing permanent has come up. Hardly any firms were hiring. Those that were hiring were part-time. I also did not mind working from home.
I’ve sent off my CV to various companies, and applied for jobs, but they just don’t get back to you or sometimes they come back with the wrong “suitable” jobs, but I will keep trying.
I cannot go on like this with this worry about being able to pay my bills or not, hanging over my heard.
I sometimes sit in my bedroom in the cold with just extra layers on to keep warm.
Right now, I have no hot water, but that’s okay. I can get round that by boiling the kettle to have a wash and wash dishes. The other little luxuries like a washing machine stopped working a few years ago, so I put the clothes in a trolley and take them to the launderette. I’ve had the same washing machine for 34 years. It just needs throwing out now. The fridge is on its way out too, but I can still get by with it. Its rickety and making funny noises, but it’s still keeping the food inside chilled. I can get by with these old items, but only the Mortgage is really urgent now. The Freezer packed up a few years ago, but that’s the least of my worries. It’s not essential. The priority right now is to keep a roof over my head. It’s just too cold for an old lady to be homeless on the streets. Universal Credit (welfare) is just to get you by with Food, it cannot pay all your bills. I’m not ungrateful, just wish things were a bit different and affordable. I’m even very ashamed to tell you when I last had a shower, but at least I can have a strip wash by boiling the kettle and use a basin.
That firm has really messed up my life, because depression set in so badly when I lost my job.
My Credit score, my health and my whole life is in ruins now.
I found Temporary work on and off, but the duration of these temporary work is only for either 1 or 2 months or a maximum of 6 months. I’ve just finished doing a 6-month Temporary assignment (May to November 2022). Now ‘ve been jobhunting since. I will keep trying though.
As a Temporary worker, here in the UK we don’t have any rights. You must be working with the Company for more than 2 years before you have any concrete rights.
My mortgage is an interest-only mortgage. When I asked the bank a few years ago if I can start paying off the capital, they said I would have to pay £20,000 up front first. I told them that I did not have £20,000 up front at that time, so I just carried on paying the interest-only payments just to keep a roof over my head. Now the interest rate has been rising here in the UK at an exponential speed. In January 2022, I was paying £464 monthly. The interest rate has gone through the roof now. I now owe the Bank more than £193,937.77 plus a further £29,000 Loan that I owe on my previous current account with the Bank that I have not been able to pay off the Loan through lack of work, plus my credit cards of appx £12,000 which I have not used since 2019. I used to have two jobs when I was in my 30s but had to pay back a lot of tax to the Taxman. My income ever since was just not enough to cover all my outgoing bills, when you take into consideration Bills etc. I live by myself.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how I am going to pay off the Mortgage, because it all has to be paid off by 1st January 2023, otherwise I will most probably be homeless (foreclosure). The Bank has asked me to contact them on 31st December 2022 to let them know if I can pay off the mortgage. I would be extremely grateful if someone, anyone can help me keep a roof over my head. I have no family here that is able to help. My eldest sister lives in the States, she turned 75 on Christmas Eve. I will be 65 years old in January 2023. I have no relatives that have that sort of money to help me out. I know Time is of the essence now.
It would be interesting to know if other people have been sacked because they caught Covid-19.
It’s wrong to treat an employee like this and I think these firms should pay for the hardship and mental problems they have caused to innocent individuals who came down with the virus through no fault of their own.
I occasionally go to the Food Bank for help. I’m very grateful for the help/support they can provide, not just for myself but for others who are suffering too. I didn’t mind spending Christmas on my own, because trawling through the internet for jobs is like a full-time chore. The Jobcentre wants me to spend 35 hours per week looking for jobs. I will do that. If I don’t, they will sanction me. I’m not a lazy person, I have always worked since I left school in 1974. Only recently technology keeps changing and one must try and keep up.
Thank you in advance for any donation you can provide to help this old lady keep a roof over her head in this cold season.
Thank you again you Lovely and kind people.

Hello, my name is Jason I am a single father with a 3-year-old son and I lost my job earlier this year, this year has been one of the worst years of my life. After losing my job and our house due to not being able to afford the rent anymore we were forced to move from place to place with relatives due to us not being able to afford any rent these days. Couple with this is the crippling amount of debt we have which has stopped me from being able to build anything for myself or my daughter. I am not going to write many more lines for a situation you can understand from what I have written so far. If you have the kindness in your heart to donate please do use the link below:

My eyes are finally open. When you love someone with so much love you are always going to be a little blind to their faults. It’s always great when it’s fresh and new. You started out with all the happiness, hope and promise in the world. Your a young 20 year old girl who has just met the ‘one’. I don’t need to explain the in’s and outs of an abusive relationship to most people, because in one way or another we have all heard or talked about it.it hurts and I find it hard to talk about because I feel sick when I think of me as a victim. But if your unlucky enough to have been a Victim yourself or know someone personally who has been then you know what it takes to finally open your eyes and make the brave decision to try and leave. abuse comes in many forms. I think I came to that realisation today. it took me 11 years. That sentence alone makes me mourn for the way my life could have been. I think that today I cried for the last time. I think that today is the day I need to ask for help. Don’t get me wrong, I am by no means poor. I work full time as a care assistant on minimum wage, I pay my share of the bills and rent, and whenever the other half needs money regardless of whether it be 5 pounds or 500 pounds I give it willingly. Because if I don’t then I am to be ‘thrown out’ (my partners words) because I apparently don’t care. The threats I am used too. They used to terrify me because I have no support system, I have no family, my friends are long gone because I was stupid enough to be bullied into spending less and less time with them until one day they understandably gave up on me. I used to think my partner never would throw me out and make me homeless because then they would have nobody to be their verbal punching bag. There is nothing harder than living with someone who does not have a single friend to talk too, who abuses drugs and alcohol on a daily basis, demeans you, talk to you like crap, make constant veiled threats and regularly gas light you and then later call you a liar and try to make out your going crazy. I won’t bother mentioning the rest of the abuse. I’m not quite there yet. My problem is that i have always been able to take so much. It’s almost like you become immune and you pretend your OK. But now I realise that I am not OK. I need help. The only way I can leave is if I have enough money to rent a property in another town where I can’t be found. I am saving what I can but when my bank statements are being taken from me and every thing I do is being monitored it makes it hard. Please if you can spare just a little change to donate to my (hopefully undiscovered) paypal then I would be most grateful. Anything donated would strictly be put towards leaving this volatile situation, to be ableto rent accommodation and become independent. I have been in contact with the council and they arnt willing to help me with housing despite my situation because as I work full time I am according to them deemed able to save and rent privately. I have explained to them several times that I am not willing to give up my job to only possibly maybe gain their help. My job is the only time I leave the house and the only respite I get from my situation. Thankyou for reading this and possibly choosing to help/support me. bright blessings to you all.

So this is for a family member who seems to always be out of luck. However they never stop helping others as much as they can.
while they were a young teenager they experienced the death of a grandmother first hand. They not only called 999 they also attempted CPR. Due to the age and health of the grandmother (she had sadly lacked oxygen to the brain for too long too) she died despite them getting a faint pulse from doing CPR. You’d think this was enough trauma for one person to go through yet there’s more. So when their first child was born it was sent to the NICU for a week. For the first two days the family weren’t able to hold their baby. Luckily the baby recovered and has grown into such a character and healthy child. Again there’s more. In the January of 2020 their spouse had two epileptic seizures out of nowhere. (They think now it was due to covid 19 as they’d had all the symptoms but it wasn’t being tested for in the uk until the March of that year) this brought back memories of losing the grandmother from when they were a teenager. They’d had three ambulance crews in their house and they were doing all sorts of measures to keep the spouse alive. Luckily the spouse recovered after 48hrs and had no recollection of the ordeal. However they had to give up driving for 1 year until they’d been seizure free. Then covid 19 hit and the spouse was furloughed but subsequently made redundant. Due to the lack of driving license and the lock down the spouse found it difficult to find work. For the spouse this was the second time they’d been made redundant too as back when the pair got married a week before the big day the spouse received the awful news they’d no longer be employed. About a month after the wedding they also found out they were 2 months pregnant which you can imagine was a happy but scary time due to the job issues. Again you’d think that’s it now they’ve had their bad luck. No. So in 2022 while pregnant with their second child they experienced terrible sickness to the point they were hospitalised several times to help with fluids. Then they had a scare when baby wasn’t growing enough and also had reduced movements they also contracted covid 19 and gestational diabetes. This meant more hospital interventions and stays. The birth it went smoothly, however nearly 24hrs later they experienced a bleed that wouldn’t stop they were subsequently rushed into theatre and then spent the next 48hrs in ICU meaning again they didn’t hold their baby for sometime like the first. This time the spouse got to witness the near death of their loved one. Some minor bad luck they have faced was a small car crash which ironically had it been 6 days earlier they wouldn’t have been at fault for due to the road layout change. Moreover their phone got stolen around 6 months after their first child was born meaning they lost a lot of the babies pictures.
Yet during all of these occasions they have always been there for others. For example they took in a close friend for 5 months after they had a rough brake up. They helped them get back on their feet and then into their own place. They lent another friend a car for 1month as theirs had been wrote off. They have donated toys to kids in need and food to those in need all while struggling financially themselves. Due to the lack of sick pay and job issues from 2020 I know they have racked up around £6000 in credit card debt so they could still pay the mortgage and bills. They don’t know I’m doing this and I’d like to try and help with the credit card debt for them I can’t personally pay it off for them but pray that others will help by donating.thank you for reading all this. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

To all those who will read this, thank you. I was born and raised in London by south East Asian parents, both of whom are strict abusers of their cultural practices and their religion, Islam. Being Muslim in the west with parents such as mine is greatly challenging, for a number of reasons. Marriage was a topic that was discussed from early teenagehood and then more seriously from 16-18. My father believes that a woman cannot live outside the home if she is not married. I am trying to set the scene to help you understand in some way what my life is like. I live in a very controlled environment with all of my choices dictated to me (mostly by my father). He has a firm hand, he expects you to do what he says and there are always consequences when you don’t. I have never been able to properly explore my individuality, opportunities or my own desires because I would be cut off from my family for doing so. I am not able to work in a normal job outside because of his strictness and I am currently waiting to be told who I will marry. I know this may sound extreme to those of you who aren’t familiar with such practices, but for those of you who are, you’ll know that this is a reality many women live with. I am incredibly exhausted with my life, with being alive and with feeling so hopeless. It is incredibly painful to not be allowed to exist as you are, to be abused and controlled and be expected to agree to be handed off to a man that I don’t know to be married.
I have been previously disowned for making choices my father didn’t agree with and in all honesty I never had the strength to survive without my family (my mother mainly). I have to make this horrific choice between my own life and having them in my life.
I am sharing some of my story here because I am desperately appealing to anyone who has the heart and ability to help me, I am trying to make as much money as I can from my laptop and phone whilst I am stuck in my bedroom so that I might have a fighting and realistic chance to leave this situation before I have to get married.
I don’t know what else I can do. If you are in any position to gift me even the smallest amount of money I would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Hello, I’m a 19 year old female who is suffering with many problems. I have been through so much since a very young age and ever since then I’ve been coping with it all by myself. I’ll keep it as short as I can…
From a young age I have been facing problems such as bullying, getting harassed both verbally and physically and have been sexually abused. Alongside this I have had many family problems and problems in school too. I never spoke of this to anyone until the age of 15/16 where I tried to commit suicide and even then I didn’t get much help. I didn’t speak to anyone after and just kept it all within me….
Going forward to 2020, I have lost both my Grandma (who has brought me up as well as my parents) and my brother (who I was really close too). Both died months apart my Grandma in hospital who I wasn’t able to say goodbye too and my brother passed away right next to me. I have been traumatised ever since and it still makes me cry to the point where I can’t even breath….
I have only had education up to my GCSE’s and couldn’t study ahead… I started working when I was 18 and just recently I have been off from work due to my bad health both mentally and physically. I have depression and anxiety which seems to be worsening over time, and makes me want to end myself at some points…
I have Tmj (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and severe orthodontic problems this is also a cause of my migraines. I also have very low iron and vitamins which causes weakness and passing out sometimes (I do take medication). I also have very bad back pains and Knee problems (Genu valgum) and is leading to my arthritis, I can’t even walk without pain or having to stop as my hip gets dislocated sometimes which is really painful. This has all been getting worse over time and has made my depression get worse. I have tried to get medical help, and have been getting referred here and there from age 16 and was told to wait for 2 years for my surgeries on the NHS but won’t be free if the waiting time goes past my 18th, and I did wait but as of COVID the waiting time had been extended and delayed. I had to then go back and get referred again but as of the long waiting list i have to wait another couple of years. Now I am 19 and suffering with my problems getting worse and worse, with this all going on I have not been able to find another job.
I have now started this page for my surgeries which I now need to get done privately I am in such a difficult and stressful situation, getting no help at all neither from family or friends. I need to get the surgeries done urgently as day by day it’s getting really difficult for me, and is making my life hard and tough taking my youth away from me. I’m in need of urgent help right now hence why I have made this page, I hope you all understand my situation and the difficulties I am going through, my depression is getting worse and the stress of trying to work out how I can do this is making me want to end my life, but I stop myself trying to find a way, or giving myself this hope that I can achieve this and not to let go that easily… please i have only a week left until i can get the surgeries.
PLEASE HELP ME AS I AM REALLY AT MY LAST STAGE!!!
