Help a foreign student stay afloat in hard times

Hello my name is Rob. I am a Latvian student in Ulster University, some 2000km from my home, and due to not being eligible for a maintenance loan, and my parents no longer being able to support me due to covid-19, I have been left to fend for myself while enrolled in a full time course and unable to find work since May 2020. Time is running out this month, and I've no savings, since I've been dependent on my family until now.

Stuck in a full time course, and with no success finding work, I no longer know what or who I can turn to for help, after I've been turned down the student maintenance loan due to me being an EU student, not eligible for any benefits or universal income, and with no more family support, I am turning to asking for help from others, I've literally nowhere else to go, I can't even afford a flight back home to my family. 

I need to cover at least one more month of rent while i continue to seek employment. I know it sounds bad, and i feel bad asking for help but at this point i am genuinely scared. 

Gas and electric bills, rent and food are my current worries. I rent a small room in a house with another person, and I am always late on my side of bills because of my situation. 

I am still new to living on my own since I am only just a 20 year old student living abroad. I was promised stablity and "a good time" during my "uni years" but so far it's been very tough and scary. 

I ask you, anyone, if you have a spare coin, it would be mean the world to me, I wish to stay in university, under my contract I cannot drop out. 

I hope for your support, and thanks for reading. 

Thank you and kind regards,

Rob.
