A little help
Donation protected
So, I made this a few days ago but through feeling ashamed to actually post it, and thinking that there was a magical way to sort this all out, I kept it quiet.
I've been on Universal credit since last July. From the payments, I have to cover rent, utilities, food and my internet.
Rent takes over half the amount I receive. I then have had £200 a month for everything else.
On ESA I had £420 a month for everything except rent. I've spent 8 months on £265, for everything except rent.
I didn't receive rent for December or January and only a portion for February. Found this out today and am £910 in arrears.
I have a "move out" date for next Friday, unless I can raise the money to pay it off. I've appealed the reason it was stopped but it's not going to come through in time.
So, why am I asking for more than the rent? A buffer for the electric and gas meters, a little bit in saving for food.
I've felt too ashamed to publically say anything, to admit to my family and friends how bad the situation is.
So, taking advice, I've set this up and really anything from anyone would be brilliant. I don't expect to reach the amount or anywhre near it, but some would just pay my landlord - who have been amazing to me in the past 10 years.
I don't want to beg or borrow from people. I feel broken and am just reaching out to the world for assistance. Sometimes when you hit rock bottom all you can do is to hold out a hand and hope there are people there to help you stand tall again.
