Change of circumstances leaving me helpless

Hello,
Just a bit of a back story, in the early days of my pregnancy I was made redundant from work with only 2 weeks notice. I then found it impossible to find a new job in time before the baby arrived. Since then I have been finding it very difficult financially but somehow I've made it work and made ends meet. This month I have found it so incredibly hard. I don't have any family on call and hardly any support system close by. I'm at a complete loss, my child is running extremely low on formula and I fear by this evening he will be completely out. I have contacted food banks but have heard nothing back. Also all of them state they're not even open for another 2 days. This is a very embarrassing time for me right now and normally I wouldn't be putting my problems out there, but now I have a 6 month old child I have no choice. Please if anyone has any useful suggestions please send them my way! TIA

Hello everyone,

We've had a number of reports from people concerned about this thread so, as we usually do in these circs, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.
Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.
So we always ask everyone to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong.
Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get it all sorted soon.
