Hi,

I’m 19 years old, and I’ve hit the lowest point of my life.

I come from a low-income background and despite that, I never received any government grants or support. I’ve been trying to hold everything together on my own — working part-time jobs, picking up any shifts I could get, applying to over 100 jobs in the past few weeks — just to stay afloat.

But last week, I lost the one job I had. That was the final straw.

I’m now over £4,000 in debt — most of it from rent arrears, a maxed-out student overdraft, and a credit card I used just to get by. I’m completely burnt out, constantly stressed, and honestly — scared. Every day just feels like another battle and I’m slowly watching myself drown day by day.

I don’t have a safety net. I don’t have anyone I can turn to. That’s why I’m here. Asking for help is something I never thought I’d do.

Your donation — no matter how small — would help me:

• Avoid eviction and legal action by covering rent arrears

• Clear the overdraft and debt that’s kept me stuck in survival mode for the past 6 months

• Get back on my feet while I secure new work and rebuild my life

If 4,000 people gave just £1, this nightmare would be over. I could breathe again.

I don’t expect a handout — just a lifeline. Thank you for reading, donating, or sharing. This means the world to me.
