Wednesday, July 29th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who’s in desperate need of help, as I’m still struggling to pay my late bills and debt.
As most of you are already aware, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefits 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 the past year.
And earlier in the year, I attended a medical assessment for my U.C benefit, the results stated that I have a limited capability for work due to my chronic depression and extreme fatigue. However, despite this, my benefits were suspended without warning or explanation. I appealed against my benefit suspension, and recently I received my reinstated U.C payment, however, due to being in such heavy debt, it was taken immediately by creditor’s and fees.
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 late bills, fees and rent to be paid, it’s been difficult for me to stay out of debt, and I’m now back in the red, as my accounts are in the negative and I still have bills to pay, groceries to get and I have a £56.05 tax bill to pay by August 1st.
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 if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.
Thank you all so, so much for all the overwhelming support this post has gained. And I’m really sorry to keep posting this, but I’m still quite far from my goal and could really use some help with my overdue bills, and debt.
If anyone could spare anything at all to help, even if it’s just a £1/$1 or a reblog, it would mean so much to me.
£164/£557!!
