My name is Barido and I am kindly asking for your support with regards to my living expenses so that I can survive as I await a decision concerning my application to the Home Office for leave to remain statusAbout me? I was born in Nigeria and moved to the UK in 2004 to study. I finished my Masters in 2014 and am currently living in the North West area of Merseyside. I have previously worked for Foodbank as a volunteer during the pandemic helping homeless people, migrants, and other vulnerable people.Situation?I have always worked and paid my living expenses when I had a student visa. However, because of the hostile environment policy and UK’s draconian immigration system, I do not have permission to work, and I have no recourse to public funds (NRPF), meaning that I have no access to housing support and benefits.  As a result, I have been couch surfing and relying on the kindness of friends to stop me from being street homeless. I am also struggling with prediabetes and need proper nutrition and diet to avoid my situation getting worse.What’s the plan?Because I cannot work due to my dispute with the Home Office, I am kindly asking for some financial support to help with my living needs while I await a decision on my application with the Home Office. Thank you for your generosity and kindness during this difficult phase in my life.
