I need to raised funds ASAP WITHIN COUPLE MONTHS
I never imagined I would be in a position where I have to ask for help like this, but right now I feel completely overwhelmed, exhausted, and alone, and I don’t know how to get through this without support. Over the past few months, my life has slowly fallen apart in ways I couldn’t have prepared for. What was meant to be a short trip abroad turned into one of the most difficult and traumatic periods of my life. Late last year, I travelled abroad fully intending to return to the UK within the 30 days allowed under Universal Credit. I had no plans to stay longer, and I never expected things to unfold the way they did. While I was there, my health suddenly deteriorated. I began suffering from hypoglycemia, which left me weak, unwell, and struggling to manage even basic daily tasks. During this time, I went through something that completely broke me — I had a miscarriage. It was an incredibly painful and traumatic experience, both physically and emotionally. I was far from home, already unwell, and trying to cope with something no one is ever truly prepared for. Because of everything I was going through, I was not able to return to the UK within the 30-day period required by Universal Credit. This was never a choice — it was something I simply could not control at the time. As a result, my Universal Credit was stopped. Since then, I have been trying to challenge this decision. I have requested a Mandatory Reconsideration and am now taking the matter further through the courts, as my situation was due to genuine medical and personal emergencies. But while this process continues, I have been left with no income at all. Coming back to the UK has not brought relief — it has only brought more stress and uncertainty. I am trying to survive without financial support while carrying the emotional weight of everything that has happened. A big part of why this has been so hard is because I have been fighting my battles alone for most of my life.
When I was younger, I went through significant trauma, including being placed into foster care. I experienced mental, verbal abuse and violence within my family, including being attacked by some members, which till today they still do as being stalked, which caused long-lasting emotional distress. At the age of 13, I was also raped—something that has stayed with me and shaped many of the struggles I have faced growing up. Since then, life has never been easy. I have had to navigate hardship, loss, and emotional pain largely on my own. A few years ago, I lost my dad — he was my only close family member in the UK. Since his passing, I have had no real support system here. No one to fall back on when things go wrong. My husband lives abroad, and he has been my only consistent source of emotional support. However, his financial situation is limited, and he does not earn enough to fully support both of us. After a lot of thought and emotional struggle, we have made the difficult decision that I will leave the UK and go to live with him if I don’t win my court case as I am trying to fight against what I feel was under unreasonable grounds to close my UC claim.
Staying here alone, without income or support, is something I can no longer manage. The funds raised will help me make this transition and give me a chance to rebuild my life. They will go towards covering the cost of my flight so I can relocate safely, and towards starting a small home-based income so I can support myself. I plan to offer services such as hijama (cupping therapy) or beauty treatments like waxing from home. Before leaving, I am also committed to clearing any debts I have here in the UK, also because of no income so far I will be using this money to eat as well and get basic hygiene products so I can move forward without leaving responsibilities behind. This is not just about moving — it’s about survival, about rebuilding after everything I’ve been through, and about finally being somewhere I am not completely alone. I truly cannot do this on my own. Asking for help is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, but right now, I need support more than ever. If you are able to donate, even a small amount, it would mean more to me than I can express. And if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing my story could make a real difference. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any kindness or support you can offer.
