Story

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to read this. My name is Ashley. I’m 31 years old and reside in the UK.

This is the absolute last thing I (and I’m sure many others) wanted to do, but I have no where else to turn.

At the start of May, I (and 1200+ others) was laid off from my job. Due to the nature of my mental health (Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety and Panic Disorder) which I’ve struggled with for most of my life, I can only currently work remotely. I am in therapy and am on medication. I’ve been searching for a job since, landing a few interviews (3 last week and another tomorrow, in fact) but am now completely at my limit. My bank account is £250 over drawn, my credit cards are maxed and 2 of them are over the limit.

I’m now at the point where I can no longer pay for my medication, I have 2 days left of food, which I have been relentlessly rationing to 1 small meal a day for the past month+, I can’t pay the overcharges on my credit card which means I’ll have debt collectors contacting me, I can’t pay for my phone bill to receive calls from potential employers and I can’t pay my rent which is due at the end of the month (£620) I have no one else to turn to. The only family I have are unable to help as they are also struggling themselves as it is financially.

I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can offer.
