im 33 and have a lovely 13 month daughter,i have been in a domestic abusive relationship for 7 months now, emotionally, physically and financially,worked all my life but am currently doing 3 days a week and all wages go on childcare and baby stuff as ex partner wont pay,he holds food against me to punish me knowing that i cant afford to buy food for myself as my daughter comes first,he limits the heating,we are living in dark rooms as he wont replace bulbs,he wont provide food.i am not eligible for benefits as they take his wages if hat makes sense.i cant go anywhere else untill i have enough money for me and daughter to flee/deposit for a new place to live,its very complicated,am receiving some help with british women's aid as social services,mainly emotional support/advice and have received food vouchers from them to get food at a local church but these are quite hard to get.i was offered refuge but over 100 miles away so wasn't possible for us as i would lose my job so i have to lose one or the other so a no win situation and vicious circle,i have lost a lot of weight and had to go to occupational therapists for stress etc,have been working as a carer since i was 19 helping others and now looks like i need help desperately,im trying to justify begging in my heart as never been in such a miserable place and never had to do this before so hope when my situation is better i can repay back by helping someone in need,i work so hard from min i wake up at 6 until i fall into bed from exhaustion but gets me nowhere,just feel so stuck here at mo,making step to gets out but long road.would love a bit of time out or take my daughter to beach or be able to buy some food instead of having to hide tins of tuna ready for next punishment,i have no phone or car so feeling isolated but at least got my trusty broken old laptop...just about,but desperate times call for desperate measures so thanks a million to anyone that is able to hlep.im hoping this is just a short time solution untill im freed of this hellish nightmare.love to all form an exhausted hungery sad mummy sarah and daughter xxxxx

I am a Mother of five and a Grand Mother to two beautiful children. I asked for help on another begging site but I was scammed as the gentleman proceeded to empty the remaining funds in my Bank Account. I am currently unemployed and trying so hard to live a normal everyday life of being able to clear bills and debts, heat my home and buy food each week. I am constantly applying for work with no luck as I have been a stay at home Mum (through a divorce and no choice) bringing up my Children on my own, Employers can not see me as a reliable, hardworking candidate. They just see someone who they consider Lazy and not bothered to work over the years. But I had a choice, leave my Children in Care for some one else to look after, or fight to look after them all and care for them with all the love as a Mum should and that is what I chose. We have endured eleven years of stuggling and I am now at a point where I can not even provide a hot meal every day or keep up with my Rent bills. I still believe that there is an angel out there that can help us. Everyone needs a little hope in an ongoing storm.

Hello Everybody, cant believe its come to this. I am a 26 year old father of 2 wonderful girls, they are my world. I am a single father and do what i can to give them everything they need. I work full time and have a mortgage. Becaus eI work full time i do not get any benefits which I am proud of as everything i have I have worked for. but latly things are really getting on top of me, when I get paid I make sure I pay mortgage and buy supplies for my girls. I have started to get into a bit of debt with not beeing able to afford thing. I get paid and I am over drawn, I have nursery fees to pay which I dont get no help with because I am in full time employment. They are building up, my water bill is building up, I dont have money for fuel in my car. and I am missing payments on some things to pay off other bills. My main problem is the nursey bill at the minute. I cannot sleep, cant really afford to eat, I am just physically drained. I would most probally be better off not working but then I would not get my mortgage paid. and I dont want to live off the goverment. I have never claimed a benefit in my life. Just hoping there a re some realy nice people out there who may be able to help me out and bit. I dont like my girls seeing me suffering and depressed. I am 100% if you want to know anything else please feel free to get in touch. Even if knowbody can help me thanks for reading i feel a ittle better that I have things off my chest! Take Care

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my posting. I am a mature student, aged 46 and the oldest on my course and have managed to support myself and my children through three years of my undergraduate degree course. It hasn't been easy, but I am confident I will be able to gain a good position within a company and ensure financial security for my family. I am looking to complete a distance learning masters course to enhance my qualifications, and to allow me to seek work at the same time, but the cost of postgraduate fees is in the region of £7,500. I have saved a quarter of the money for these fees from my limited income but need help raising the balance. If you would like to donate any amount of money, no matter how small, I would be very grateful. Thank you again for reading my posting and wishing you a pleasant, peaceful day.
