Thank ypu
Hence the reason it took me so long to ask for help.
Reactions like yours.
How do u know i haven't been trying all week so im at my last .
Where have u seen me ask anyone for money or uber eats.
Is that something u do often as u seem to know a lot about it.
Who would be mad enough to gfive out there address in a chat fprum

It’s happened on here multiple times before.

How do I know you haven’t been trying all week? Because you said the food bank delivers on Wednesdays, so you left it until at least after that.

Lots of good advice on here if you are genuine though. Any luck with any of them?

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 users 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. We strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get it all sorted soon.
