Single parent needing urgent help I am a single parent working part time and currently here in the uk it is our 6 weeks School holidays, most of my wages have paid a child minder the rest went to rent and council tax and energy,My general bills are all up to date and keeping a roof over our head is a priority, howver this left me no money for shopping this month.  I have been in my current job almost 10 years and could not bare to leave therefore during holidays I have to leave myself short in order to carry on working. I am asking if it would be possible for a little help of around £50 to get a food shop and travel to work. I have never done anything like this before and it is only a last resort as i dont know what else to do.
