Hi, I'm Tom and have reached a particularly rough point due to losing my job over a year ago. I'm a single person trying to survive the current economy and with so many other people looking for fewer jobs, I have unfortunately not been able to secure a replacement up to this time. I have used up all my savings and need to pay rent and bills but have nothing left to do so.

Government support is inadequate and I have borrowed all I can from family to pay previous months. I never thought I would get to this stage but have no other options. I would appreciate any help you can give to get me over this hurdle and I would try to repay once I hopefully have some steady employment and income.
