Happy Pride Everyone!! 🏳️🌈
*warning: long post!*
Sunday, June 23rd: Hello everyone, I’m Gemma and I am quite sure that everyone is beyond tired of seeing my posts by now, and I sincerely apologize to be asking again but I still desperately need help with utilities/groceries and to get through July.
As most of you are aware, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefits (U.C & Housing Benefit) being revoked, under the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And due to my mental health and some unfortunate DWP mess-ups, my benefits have been on and off sanctions for over a year now and I am currently waiting for the DWP to send me for a medical assessment, which I am hoping will fix my benefits and offer me more assistance as I am unable to work.
However, the process and paperwork for a medical can take weeks and often months to go through (I have been waiting since January). To make matters worse, a few weeks ago my unemployment advisor, who is consistently mishandling and misplacing my medical sicknotes, lost my medical lines and due to this, further sanctions have been temporarily placed on my benefit. Which means the £128.88 I used to receive on a monthly basis has been put on hold until the issues can be resolved so I will not receive a payment on June 25th.
These past few months have been absolute hell for me, and with no income, I’ve been relying on the kindness of others to get by. However, due to quite a lot of overdue bills, chargebacks and late fees, it’s been difficult to stay out of debt.
(I have calculated that I would need at least £378 to pay my most urgent bills and get me and my dog groceries/supplies for a few weeks). I’ve also added a few items to my old wishlist, the cheer myself up if anyone is feeling kind enough to have a look at it.
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate or buy anything off my wishlist if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling.
Thank you for your help 💖
