Losing All Hope
LeandyUK, Uk
I have a 3 year old son whom I love dearly. Since August, I have struggled to keep a roof over our head and food in our mouths. His father left us when he was 18 months old - taking away almost all of our money, but we coped. But then I lost my job due to the company going into administration. I have been desperately trying on what little I have to keep us going, but it is becoming increasing impossible. I currently owe £400, and clearing it will get my monthly payments down to a manageable size. It may not seem like much, but it is gathering interest and taking the food out of our mouths. The situation got even worse when I came down with meningitis a few weeks ago, as I currently struggle to have the energy to go about daily tasks, let alone try and cope with my debt. So I am begging you, any kind and generous person out there, if you have a pound going spare - that is the price of a bottle of coke - I would really appreciate it.
I desperately need help with rent arrears and bills.
Please help if you are able to.
Since 1999 I have been physically disabled following a head-on collision with another driver who had lost control of their vehicle. Almost immediately I lost my own home as I was unable to work and have had to find private rented accommodation which is very expensive and the small amount of Social Welfare I receive towards housing and living expenses has fallen far behind inflation and now is not enough to cover rent and bills.
Over the following years I have completely lost all my confidence. There have been many incidents of bullying and harassment from both Landlords and other people. As result I now suffer from severe panic attacks, a racing heart and bouts of violent shaking. One by one my friends are gone and most of the time my only company has been my dog and my beloved horse who was abandoned by gypsies 2 years ago as a youngster, and I have tried to care for as well as I possibly can given my own circumstances. He gave me a confidence that I no longer have with people.
On the 3rd of November I found him dying in the field and immediately called a vet. It was a Sunday and the cost of a vet is double on that day as a duty vet has to attend. Despite us fighting to save his life he died an agonising death an hour later. He had died from a rare poisoning after eating Sycamore seeds. He was still just a baby.
The grief is immense and now the bills are arriving.The vet bill is huge and another bill for the equine bereavement company used to remove his body from the field and to cremate.
I am already in arrears with my rent and being threatened with eviction by my Landlord, so there is no way I will ever be able to pay these bills.
I am happy to prove my circumstances and show bills if required. Please help if you are able to.
Thankyou for reading.

Help to get started again
Hello to you all.
Im here seeking help from you however small.
Im desperate to rebuild my life following a serious accident and loss of my livelihood.I worked in construction and being unable to work for several years lost what little I had built up.
Im now in a position to get my life back up again though not the same level as before.
I need to raise some money to provide me with some basic tools that will allow me to start a garden maintenance round.
Nothing grand or exciting but working with the soil is my passion.
Please if anyone can donate something it would help so much.Thankyou all in advance.
